So smooth it looks slow. Well done, Gary, and thanks for sharing.

Of course, I can't see Gary's shoes mentioned without thinking of Kirsty MacColl:

Damn, I forgot to thank my tire sponsor N0tt0N! Thanks for the loaner NT01s. Scrubbed to perfection now. They were much better than my cycled out R7s and possibly better than new ones since it's tough to get enough heat into them at autocross.

I still can't quite wrap my head around it. I was working Finish in the morning, and my goal (loosely based on what I saw), was to break 62 early, and strive for 60 by run 5-6.

I screwed up run 1, hooned a bit, and came in below 60. I looked up, and kind of shook my head, muttered "Wuuut?" And smiled my way back into the queue.

AX is a blast, I had the most fun I have had on Sunday. The guest photographer catching a ride with me on run 5 was giggling through the sliding and throttle steering in the lower section (57.1 plus cones for laughs) was my most fun.

Now, will this translate past my role as a rolling-chicane at SP?

I sure hope so!

I asked you to ride with me for some tips but no....(kidding)

Vranko needs to post his vid...but then again Im over these fellas making it look so smooth.

Great driving by Ken. You were cookin! You were a happy fella at the end of the day - well deserved. Car looks really squatty and flat throughout!

Porschefest 2015 (Jefferson Circuit) The course was set up using the "new" section as well as the "skid pad". The transition from track to skidpad was challenging.

Here is one on my runs. I wasn't too happy with the time. Can anyone tell me where the goof up happened. (I sure as heck do)

Orange gloves!

Looked good to me. I didn't get to run that course when time ran out but looked fun! BTW, Tina says a big thanks for your pointers during your ride-along. She was within a 10th on her next run so your sage advice stuck!
