    It was a great day to auto-X and take in some war birds at the same time. Still plenty of room for improvement but I did get the best of Chris. Sometimes it is age over beauty!

    Results are up!

    Great job by the General for taking #1 in B-stock and PAX! Good job to all the RX-8s for filling up the top 10 PAX spots with BS.

    Jeez... I need to find a softer class, like BSP or SM or something. I thought I was sucking nuts on Sunday, end up fourth in class, and that's good enough for 6th overall in PAX?

    I'm glad he has his own class, he would've bumped me out of a trophy. Not that I expected one, thought I was 7th in tire. Also thought I saw that stinkin Mini wearing number 10 but he's not in the posted results.

    Congrats to all!

    TES with the 1, 2, 3 sweep with times would've been fast enough to trophy in STS2, and they say 1.6's are slow

    It's a fun class. Good competition, becase so many of the entrants have been known to win events, so you never know what will happen. Believe me, I know.

    It was fun to watch the back-and-forth in B Stock

    Good job Kenny!

    Just an observation. Just like most places, later heats tend to do better in the pax.

    Just more noticeable when you make all your runs in a particular heat.

    Only 3 in top 25 were in first heat, 2 in second heat, all rest in top 25 ran last heat.

    Brianne and I were talking about that same thing this morning. I expected both you and I to be higher in the PAX. Next time I'll run "X" class on the STS2 PAX.

    with SCCA, I tend to run whichever class/heat is most convienent timewise for the day

    this year, haven't cared about points or choice of class

    they usually/are supposed to rotate which class runs which heat

    my fault STS2 ran first heat -- since I did their autocross seminar on Saturday, I asked for my class to run at the same time as the Lotus guys

    I dunno - I think we might have actually fared better in 2nd heat. Even though it was windy on Sunday, it was warm enough (and the gap between runs was short enough) that our tires went to pieces after about the third run.
