Definitely had a great time out there today with everybody ! 
Definitely props to Pat & Damon for their first AutoX & at Mineral Wells....that course was fun, fun, fun ! Way big and fast....spread out....thats what I like.
Honestly....everybody did a job with the course....it was not what we all have been used to....except for Gavin.
And of course....Gavin pretty much toasted us all.
But I had a pretty good run....except that I clipped two cones on my fastest run of the day......one on the first slalom...and the right at the end I hit the exit cone !

Listen for my " Damn It ! " when I hit the first cone in the slalom. My best time without those two cones was a 110.??? .....But I know I could have made a clean pass without any cones if we had a couple more runs like in the morning.

Damon, you did a hell of a job today man. Your best time only missed me by like 3/10ths of a second lol. That last run you made was awesome and I can't wait to see all of you guys out there again!

Damn that was fun and just goes to tell me I need MOAR seat time!!
Damon, that was epic when you had to raise your hand to claim the (valentines bear?) that was blowing around the parking lot
Everybody did awesome although I just could not improve my times and I can't blame my car or tires or suspension ... the problem exists between the steering wheel and the seat
I for one am glad I remembered sunscreen! Pat just think how bad your arms would be if you hadn't used some!!
Damon & Pat - big props to your first autox, you guys did awesome!
Can't wait until the next Mineral Wells day, although filled with gravel I loved the big course! I will be better prepared next time!

^^ It's a whole new perspective watching that video when you know the track
I think I would get more out of watching the in-cabin video than the FTD though, now I'm going to study your video's and figure out how you are 10 SECONDS faster than me on that track!

The in cab shot just bounces all over the place from the rough surface.

FYI, PCA is going to be at Rangers Stadium on April 10 for their second event. There is a 99% possibility that I can't make this but I wanted to let everyone know.
