Well Both Chris & I had a great day at Crandall yesterday for the PCA AutoX.

It was a fun course only to have Chris edge me out by .1 sec.

I believe he ran a 62.1 in the am and my best later in the day was a 62.2.

I will post up a video later today....but here are some pics.

Yeah, the autox course very fun and challenging. I couldn't get a clean run even if my life depended on it, though; I was trying to get too close to the cones. Lots of 61.X runs but none were clean so 62.1 it is. I'll post up vids soon.

Apparently, Eagle's Canyon is allowing actual sessions (intermediate/advanced) from 11am-5pm after C&C this Saturday, March 2nd. It's $75 and you get free lunch.

I think I'm going to go to ECR for the track sessions instead of Mineral Wells/autox. Anybody else interested -- Chris, Pat, Mike?

Hmmm Chrisssss - i was hoping it was free lead follow - was going to get my wife to get out on the track in her Subaru - i don't think she's ready for a casual track day though

I don't know if i can do that or not - my car is out because no track tires - Subie needs an alignment so its possible....i can make it after that one - great way to break it in after 3 months on jack stands i suppose lol
