    It was a fun event. Thanks to everyone that came out and those that helped us throughout the season. Big thanks to everyone that chipped in on troubleshooting the generator this morning!

    The "rookie girl" in the Mini ClubmanS had a great time out there today... everyone very helpful and nice!

    Looking for my driver's side mat, which was next to my car in the parking lot. Couldn't find it at end of afternoon ... black and has the MINI logo on it ...made of heavy rubber & would have been hard to miss it blow across parking lot. Damn windy out there! Anybody see it or picked it up .. please holler!! THANKS

    Great day, bad day to be a timing light though



    I learned this the hard way.....

    Take all of your valuables out of your car at night. This includes taking the mounting hardware off of your windshield or dash and hiding the power supplies. I lost over $ 1,000 to a thief with no hope of recovering my items and to top if off they smashed my window in the rain and my truck got soaked. Let my loss be your learning experience.

    Probably our best turn out of the year, and a fun and challenging course as well!

    Can you spot the ripple colored defector?

    Awesome day. A couple lessons learned:
    - Things look very very different from the drivers seat at 45 mph than they do on the walk with a coffee cup in hand.
    - A stock Mazda 3 suspension is REALLY soft!
    - It's better to let other people wipe out the timing gear.
    - Cool looking numbers doesn't necessarily make a car competitive.
    - Standing around in a parking lot all day CAN be a lot of fun!

    Thanks to the organizers, thanks to all the people handing out tips, thanks to Cyril and Gabby for taking a couple laps with me. I'll definitely be up for some more instruction next time around.

    So when I was driving home last night, I had a random thought. How awesome would it be to have an 'official' photographer or videographer at an aerial vantage point. So I took a quick look this morning and found this:

    http://www.sunbeltrentals.com/equipm...008&catid=1209

    20' scissor-lift, 3'x8' platform, $120/day rental. I'd pay an extra few bucks at registration for video of my runs. Combine in-car video with aerial video (this weekend, Corner 1 would have been a good spot) and you can really tell where you're screwing up.

    I'd imagine there'd be some safety/insurance issues to iron out, but does anyone else see any value in it?

    Nope!

    I'd pay extra for more runs not for glamor shots.
