    I left just after the third heat started, but as of when I left, things seemed to be going very well. I guess someone can chime in and state otherwise, but I would say that the SCCA put on a great event today. Kudos!

    I am beat! I need to get to bed.

    I had a great time. Whoever designed that course needs a kick in the pat on the back. I liked the course, but I never got the pin turn right. And, there was a unique new element. Hey, I even finished DFL.

    Other than poor course design it was the best Autocross I attended that day!

    Poor jrj512 gets no respect! I vote that we give him a special MME t-shirt with a bulls-eye painted on the back!

    jrj512 you did a great job on the design. I had a hard time finding the words what it was like to drive a BMod car on the course. I finally came up with Intense aggression . That back section was wild.

    After driving the course it was alot of fun even if it did favor the Vett (thats my excuse for getting beat and I'm sticking to it, never mind BStock won pax). I did not like it at all after walking it.

    Good job jrj512

    It was also nice to have 3 heats and 5 runs even if we were a little short on coures workers, but I did not have chase cones

    The course, it looks so lovely in this pics. I wonder what genius designed it? He must be good.

    With the exception of that jerk POS Racing, I appreciate the good feedback from the course. Thanks!

    Adding some weight to the top of the mount should dampen that out a lot, and/or a bungie chord from the top of the mount to a seat belt tower. Just my 2 cents worth. I attached a 1 pound block of lead to my motorcycle fairing camera mount and cured all it's troubles.

    I'd sugges duct tape from the top of the windshield to the camera and then suspend at least 20 pounds from the tape.

    How about a helmet mounted camera? The tether could be attached around you neck.
