Friday Day 1, finished 7 of 11 in class, mid pack in my heat and mid pack overall. Very happy for my first national event.
In route with my car loaded up with gear:
Decaled/magneted up with the required things for the tour and contigency programs in the paddock:
In grid between runs:
Action shot by Tradd Slayton. Hoping he has a few more so I could buy a few from him.
Saturday, challenge day which was 3 morning runs in each of the 4 heats. the top 16 in PAX Index for each heat moved forward. I wasn't one unfortunately.
I believe it was 10-12 events with two driver's at most of them and usually we got 5-7 runs at each event. They had about 130-160 runs on them and probably 1000-1500 street miles.
They would have held up better if I had managed the heat better on them when I first started running them on my car. Didn't help I was way over driving the ST not being used to the extra power and weight.
Well ended up doing another event this year. Someone offered to pay for fuel and entry if I let them co-drive my car so I said sure.
Placed second in GS, 37th in Pax & 78th in Raw out of 177 drivers. Pretty happy with the results. Co-driver got edged out of 3rd place by a few hundredths and coned away a second place finish.
TC still drives better than you.[neener] Brett, it's a Focus, not a Subaru lol. I figured you would have gotten stuck in that little bit of mud, but I guess you had lady luck on your side that day lol.

Did a Track Sprint that was pretty much an autocross style event but on VIR's Patriot Road Course. This was my first time ever being on a track outside of riding with other people and it was very fun.
Unfortunately, I suffured some, "I have not idea what to do with my hands" and also "oh yeah, i need to downshift because this isn't a little autocross course".
Also, my camera died by my final runs where I was finally figuring out what I needed to do to be faster and closer to being on the racing line.
This weekends event and my last one for a bit. Saturday Took the class win Sunday placed second. was in the the top third in PAX both days. Saturday I was in the Top Third in RAW and Sunday Top Half in Raw.
Was very wet in the morning on Sat so I am pretty happy with how things went.
