    My first autox class win!

    I won HS with the 90 Pro today!! Had a back and forth battle for 1st with a 318is. After only improving by a few tenths each previous run, he had me by .75 sec going into the last run
    I put together a great run, dropping my best time by 1.1sec , taking him by .3!

    disclaimer- the usual fast HS guy ran DSP, winning it, so the competition wasn't as stiff as usual, but a wins a win, right?

    I got great help from two fast guys riding on my first two runs, it just took till the last run to put it all together.

    It was cool, the announcer made a big deal out of it, and the people in the start finish were clapping.

    There was a new MS3 there, very fast! Odd thing about it- it has a heavy hood, all the ducting for the TMIC and battery cooler duct add up.

    I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.

        Yep, the people are great too, so it's really enjoyable to spend the day.
        After looking at the results more, my time would have won GS, taken 2nd in FS, and been mid pack in the large and competitive ES

                    Real men aren't afraid to cry, but that wasn't what it was, it was just a silly dopey excited squeaky noise

                            On Sunday, a Camaro locked a front wheel hub and declared a 15minute technical. So a crowd of racers descends on the car Nascar style, and gets the hub replaced in under 15 minutes! I was impressed....
