Default 2015 Autocross Season

Ok, guess I'll start this years thread.

PCA Potomac hosted it's first autocross of 2015 today at Bay Sox stadium. Great, well run event as always. Much fun was had by all even in the bitter cold and windy conditions today.

Here's a video of my last runs. I took our trusty photographer along for a very bumpy ride. As you can hear from the video the lot still has a lot of winter debris. My frozen Hoosiers weren't as bad as I expected

balance Otto! having that second person makes for much better weight distribution. plus - Bill C is a much better instructor than two hundred pounds of lead bolted to the passenger side floor

Now there is a complement! Lol. "I cannot recommend this instructor highly enough." We love you Bill - no matter what Michael says about you!

Ok - I take the bait. This was my 5th run. The passenger onboard makes strange noises and was very entertained. Pulled a 45.817. - Bill C ! The race is officially on. Congrats on FTD.

Now there's a compliment! At least, I think that's a compliment. Well, I hope that was a compliment.... "Get Bill to ride with you, he is great ballast!"

Yeah, but how much better? There's got to be a limit somewhere.

Thanks! I think we have officially proven that new R-comps are better than 3-yr-old half-worn street tires!

Gosh I love AutoX! I can't wait for the day when the FTD Award goes to one of us girls and then the "Fastest Male of the Day" gets awarded.
