IMHO you didn't choose the best AX in DFW to return to Autocross. The SCCA takes the most time for the least effort; if it wasn't for the level of competition I'd skip SCCA altogether! Plus the SCCA has had a bad case of growing pains this season. But it could have been worse you could have gotten 3 runs for all your hours spent.....
Maybe next time try ER or better yet run an S2K event! BTW. It was nice meeting you today!
