Mineral Wells ProSolo -- April 13-14, 2013

The weekend was awesome! Thanks to Texas Region for putting on a great event and Vorshlag for providing food for the welcoming party. STR was an awesome battle. I knew Gerry was just messing with us. What an awesome last 2 runs he made. Less than one second seprated 6th to 12th place. That's close! All I and everyone needed was a little over second to make the trophies! I just couldn't find that little bit of time on the left course. But I can't complain, did way better than I thought!

Here are my best runs on left and right.

Finally got my photos from Saturday afternoon uploaded.

I have quite a few more, but I didn't have time to finish editing them, so I just picked some of my favorites (photos, not cars). I did miss a few due to arriving later than I planned and technical difficulties :lol: from using a friend's gear so he could try mine, but I should have at least one decent one of most of the cars. If you don't see yourself here, or want more of your car, send me a message or email (alstauffer at gmail) with your car, class, and number and I'll see what I have.

Awesome shots! Thank you!

I received an email today from the coordinator of the folks that staffed the concession area at the Mineral Wells ProSolo. These volunteers were from the Palo Pinto General Hospital in Mineral Wells & were raising money for the American Cancer Society. From the weekends sales & donations folks made at the site, they raised $1,215.00 over the two days!

:clap: Thank You to everyone that bought food & made donations to their cause while at the Texas SCCA ProSolo!!! :clap:

Posted some photos from the weekend.

Big props to Mark for "disposing" of me. ;)

Congrats Mark! :clap:

The car shots are great, the people shots are the best though. Thanks Brad!

Many of you have seen Ben Freedman's talent already from his video of the 1st 2013 SCCA autocross at Dallas Speedway.

Here's Ben's latest work from the 2013 Texas ProSolo:

^ VERY cool.

Looking at that screen shot of Stan and Su's car... Porsche needs to offer a Cayman "whale tail" from the factory. That spoiler looks sharp!
