Re: August 16-17 - Summer Sizzler Autocross (Cumberland Airport)

What a meet! I almost want to say that I missed the "up close and personal" abuse from the SVX family (as if the abuse via the Network wasn't bad enough). Thanks so much to OT and Di for their hospitality! Thanks to YT for making the trip down to MD to install the R180 and caravaning up to OT's place all in the same day (did I mention how loud YT's exhaust is?) It really was great getting to see everyone and knock off some of the ~2yrs of autoX rust that had accumulated

As Chris has already mentioned, Saturday's course was, to be kind, challenging. I have never heard so many people called off course - a lot of them very experienced autoX'ers. Sunday's course definitely made up for the somewhat confusing nature of Saturday's course. Thanks to YT and Dave for their help with the "adjustments" made to Battlescar late Saturday night (yes, the "Official AutoX Parts Breaker" title was confirmed) in preparation for Sunday. I'm not sure if Chris or YT had the fastest SVX time of the day on Sunday. My Sunday times were:

Run 1 = 59.933
Run 2 = 57.911
Run 3 = 55.996
Run 4 = 55.444
Run 5 = 54.551
Run 6 = 53.535

I can honestly say that I still hadn't reached the car's limit after 6 runs. I do think the high 40s were out there, I just ran out of runs

I took ~50 pics and will provide a link sometime Monday.

p.s. anybody see Ben?
