    Gez, look at all the pointer cones, particularly on Saturday's course . Do those Divisional Boyz have trouble seeing the course or something? And here I thought they were mostly experienced drivers, but apparently they are worried about the Novices getting lost...

    I don't know why they're worried - apparently the threat of some real competition scared off all of the drivers who might have gotten lost anyway...

    I'm looking forward to this one! Hope the heat isn't too bad.

    My car exceeds my driving ability. That's the only possible explanation.

    Repeat after me - slaloms are good.

    Welcome to the board, Jeremy. What's with the Evo8 in your tagline? You didn't buy one of those Mitsu rattletraps, didja?

    They would be good if I was in a mini

    And thanks Iain, I did indeed buy one of those rattletraps. The AS guys look like their having too much fun. So I'm going to see if I can stir the pot next season.

    Yup, I don't ever plan to sell it. They are too rare to get rid of.
    Are you the guy that ran in the Black ZX3 in HS?

    Well, since you bought a Mitsubishi, it might be a good idea to keep the Subaru around so you've got something to drive when the Evo is in the shop.

    Just kiddin' with you. It'll be interesting to see a well-driven Evo in Stock!

    I have heard rumors that Mitsu searches the web for Autocross results and will void the warranty if they find your name next to an Evo result. Might just be internet folklore.

    I sure am. In the market for a miata now.

    Very cool, where have you been? HS participation has been lacking as of late.

    As far as the warranty, it's an aftermarket one, so hopefully I won't have any problems. Plus, I'm pretty easy on equipment so we'll see.

    Second place in E-stock!!! Woo Hoo! First place kicked everybody's ass though. He was around 5 secs faster than me over the two days.

    Not a bad showing for my first divisionals.

    Thanks! Altiain trophied and Wagner got bumped out of the trophies b/c of a very 5-speed friendly course today (he drove great despite the disadvantage).
