This past weekend, I competed in the 8th and final points event with my local Blue Ridge Region.
Since I hadn't autocrossed in ~4 weeks, I felt kinda rusty out there and it showed on my first run that I dnf'd -- cold tires and some over-zealous use of the throttle are to blame!
Settled down and put in a solid 2nd run time of 55.7 (which would have been enough to have won the class for the day). Dropped 0.4 seconds on my 3rd run and then another 0.4 seconds on my final run to finish with a quick time of 54.9. I finished 2nd in PAX overall for the event which had 115 people in attendance.
Summary:
1st out of 3 in class
2nd out of 115 in PAX

P.S. With this win, I captured the STX class championship for the 2010 season with my BRR-SCCA region!
