Bill, what place did you finish overall in G-stock? You said your fastest was a 67. What kinda times did the other cars in your class run? Who ended up winning the class?
-Chike

13th Garfield won, as usual... I'm still pissed about my driving....having had time to cool down a little, I now realize that I just flat out "over drove" the car (basically driving the car past its limits, thus having to spend extra time bringing it back in line). What really drove this home was watching Mike Louie's video -- his "gliding" through the course was in strong contrast to my "sliding" around at least 4-5 sections of the course. Now I've got all off season to burn the "slower is faster" mantra into my brain!! -Bill (new autoX poster boy for "Faster is Slower" ) 61.256 - Garfield's winning time 66.311 - "slowest" MINI time 67.923+1 - my "fastest" time (ignoring the cone, of course... ) and just for Ben -- 'Street Touring (Tire)' - Total Entries: 19 Trophies: 3 Times Total Diff. 1T 9 Louie, Michael 1991 Honda Civic Si Teal 62.916+2 62.163 61.589+2 62.185+1 62.163 - note: Mike's time would have been good for second place (by ~.3) in GS

Harry-
I'll be there if it makes you feel better This Sunday's race comes the day after the Baltimore Marathon, so it will be a victory for me just to get in and out of the car I may drive Liz's Jetta just so I don't have to shift gears...

You "GOTTA" make the last one - you promised, remember? And this should be a good one with the points situation, however, I do believe RUFUS has first place sewed up for the season in his Audi. He has been strong ALL year! We're looking for you this weekend,MIKE!!! We'll help you in and out of the car!! Looking for you too, Ben. And it would be interesting to see the bike on the course Harry
