    I enjoyed the close competition today, except the part where I went from am FTD to 3rd place in X.
    Great driving by Ashley, Iain and Gernby among others.

    Here is a recap of the Club President Challenge:
    We held a one-run bragging rights challenge with the president of each club running the same car: The Bandit. Despite significant consternation over the lack of multiple lumbar and headrest adjustments, Hollingsworth (BMW) took an early lead, and Howard (PCA) couldn't quite catch him. It was probably the unusually nimble and powerful feel of a Miata that threw-off the P-car enthusiast. Cost (ER) set an fast lap and jumped to the lead, despite his misgivings about the lack of classing options. The final run would be taken by Jan (NTAXS), who laid down a smoking raw time that would have won by 1.3 seconds, but - in true S2000 spirit (as the origin of the club) - was spoiled by his two cone penalties.

    Looks like ER holds the bragging rights this time, but a rematch is sure to follow!

    Great event as usual. Congrats to Ashley on FTD - I finally out Mike and Greg both in my rear view mirror and someone else sneaks in for the win! That's racing, I guess.

    Some samples:





















    I ended up missing a lot of the cars while helping some friends, and wasn't used to the camera I was borrowing, so a lot of shots didn't turn out, but I tried to get as much as I could up there.

    Most fun racing I've had in a while. Best time was a 57.1. That photo in the facebook link of me super sideways is from about 45 seconds into the video
