I thought you might all get a kick out of the fact that cold rain followed me out here, and my first autocross was in a downpour. The good news is that in the heaviest of the rain I was only two second behind the national champion, Vic Sias. The bad news is he was probably on slicks :-) And in damp weather I was 5 seconds behind... but the courses are so much larger and faster that it took a lot of hutzpah to commit to a corner and slide through it in the wet. I know I lost a lot of time coming into the last hard left, for instance, as I braked hard, even on my fastest run, and the car seemed bored there... vids are in the video section, as always, and results are here. And just to rub it in... this event was on Sunday, and I had already missed four local events. And I'm going again on Sunday. I have to rub it in, because it's $30, members only, and you get 3 runs. 252 drivers at Sunday's event. In the rain! I'm going to miss the Glen Region's small, social events.
