Carl -- Love the story and the pics! Was fun to spend a little time with you and your love machine! (the car not what you dudes are thinking!LOL).

This event - and others like it - really show that the DRIVER makes the combo work regardless of mega dollars spent on equipment. Good for you buddy! Good for you!

The whole week was really just spectacular. I'm glad Lat G picked you to represent.

Great seeing you out there Carl.. we got some great shots of your car.

That weather driving from Pahrump to Baker was crazy.. glad you made it ok.

[Van B]

Great job representing LG Carl! Your writeups before and after the event were great entertainment as well.

[Mkelcy]

If they'd had a driver's suit contest (think swimsuits), Carl would have been top three. Congratulations!

Seriously, good job!

[Cris@JCG]

Great job Carl! Nice to see what a car can do with come bolt on parts .. Driver skills helps!

"First up for me was autocross. Just in case anyone is unfamiliar with my love for autocross, I would rather perform dental work on myself without anesthesia. The track was slick and super tight, definitely not to my or the cars liking. Three 180* turns, including one section where there were back-to-back 180*s, made the car, and me, scream for mercy. No matter how hard I tried it just seemed that that the car was crawling. I did the three required laps/torture sessions and headed back to the pits. I did not know how well I did until much later in the day.

Between the autocross and road course there was time for a little fun. Todd and I decided to put up or shut up, so we duked it out in the pits for the Top Gun crown. Here we are throwing down on each other, Tito Ortiz vs. The Karate Kid.

Two participants tied for 11th. I'm one of them. 9th overall in autocross and somewhere around 8th for road course. Considering that the car received no points in the Speed-Stop Challenge and likely did not peg the meter for the evaluation/engineering/modification section, I'm pleased."


Congratulations Carl!

You officially have the Autocross monkey off your back! Your driving skills and good car prep really showed in the results. I think they should have given you some engineering points as you pioneered many of the car mods allowing the vendors to know what to deliver to a paying public. How about some more "Hollywood" shots?
