I have to get in with the SCCA chapter up here. I forgot how much I missed having a sports car...I NEEEEED to autoX soon.

Saturday is $35 test and tune but it is open longer and there are only serious people there like Davidv who is a quite a jokester but also serious racer. NO minivans or chrysler sebrings lining up like Fridays.
I have been to Fredrick twice in my life (for ice hockey) and left with a broken arm both times, Fredrick is bad luck for me, I now have a "bionic arm" ha ha lots of metal in me.

I'm not sure I want to pay 35 bucks for it. It was only 15 at Cecil.
Maybe next week. I want to get some good pictures of my car. I didn't realize how much I depended on my GF having a good camera for all kinda stuff....

Hey Tim, it was nice to meet you. It was great to see other Z's there this time. I don't think the track was prepped at all, I had some crappy passes and only was able to get 4 runs in (including 2 aborted ones).
The name is Phil, let me know the next time you're heading there. We should swap cars for a pass and see what happpens!

OP-seeing the 2.1 60ft time and 9/0 1/8 mile, I can offer you advice that Ive told many. The shifting needs work speed wise, specifically the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts. You have the ability to run very high 8.8, easy 8.9 1/8 miles with a 2.1 60ft. If you dont there is only one explanation for it
Seat time will help you improve, 13's first time out is nothing to be ashamed about.
