Autocross is fun! You were auto crossing your ST?

[humybby]

Good job!  8th - not bad at all.  Where was it at?
 
BTW, I've had my H2 for a few weeks now.  Sweet mother of God!  FAST!

Greg, where have you been riding that? guess it helps to have a bit of weight to hold it down!

Just wanting a nice flashy Sunday drive car...
 
If nothing pans out - going to the Okotoks classic car auction may long weekend... maybe no one will want the Bricklyn that's up for auction....

^^ You should get a little fun to drive sports car Dave, you'd love Autocross. I went down for a weekend event, we take over the local pub after the event and have some laughs about the day. Not too competitive, mostly just people coming out to have fun. Actually the Mustang GT is a very good vehicle for it now that it finally has independent rear suspension, not too expensive and I think you'd fit into it a little better than a Fiesta.
 
I love that it is called an H2 Greg, haha. Sounds like a lot of fun!
 
I was down in Fort McLeod for the weekend with SASC. Great event, wasn't too hot, and it never rained. Somehow I still got sunburned though, lol.
 
I placed 6th for the practice event on Saturday, I even edged out Murray.. haha. However Murray was my co-driver for the championship and he ended up placing 2nd overall in my Fiesta, lol. I still have a lot of work to do this summer to get anywhere near his driving level.

Lol - even a miata....


Update: My cousin just checked out a Porsche 928S3 in BC - I think we may have a winner!

I was up at Castrol on the weekend.  I did a 1:25.5 in the ACR.  Someone told me that was the lap record for stock production car.  I'm pretty sure I can get into the 1:24's so I'm excited about that.
 
It's actually been a good few months with cars.  I set fastest lap at the Chump Car Chumpionship in Las Vegas before Christmas then won the race at Thunderhill just a few weeks ago.  The Texas Mile was a disappointment but we're going to try again in October.  And this past Sunday was a blast at Castrol.  Oh - and the H2 is INCREDIBLE!  Freak'n FAST.  Well over 200hp.
 
I suppose I should go off roading at some point.....
 
Anyway, congratulations Nick!  It's hard to do well at these things.  Good job.
