This past weekend was championship event #8 with my local BRR SCCA region held at the Augusta County Gov't Center in Verona, VA. My co-driver couldn't make the event, so I co-drove with James in his '05 STi in the STU class.

The STU class consisted of 7 drivers, in cars varying from STi's to M3's and even a 350Z. We each had 4 competition runs, and we ran in the 1st heat when the course had a decent amount of gravel on line. After I dnf'd my first two runs (i.e. hit some gravel spots ) I put down a 53.3+1 which left me second in class behind the car owner James who had a clean 55.0. On my final run I held nothing back and was able to come up with a clean 53.2! I won the class by a little over 1.8 seconds and actually had FTD for part of the day.

Summary:
1st of 7 in class
5th of 88 in PAX
