Great pictures Adriano!
AX team, you deserve a pat on the Back, Mark Curran would have been proud. Everything ran very smooth
Track was challenging and fun, I liked the first half with minimal cones, trying to squirt between the gates will hitting your line dead on and not pushing to hard was really fun. The second half of the track was old school SDR autocross with lots of cones and gradually got tighter as you approached the finish. It was interesting to drive a track with both characteristics built in. Second half was just as fun for me, Just focus on the important cones an keep the throttle on as much as possible in between
Jack, I saw your car first thing Saturday morning and said to myself, " Dang! Brand new tires, he is going to be hard to beat!" Not going to lie, I Felt Rusty in the morning practice sessions, was turning 18's and 17's and just figured, well I'm giving it some good effort, Top 10 would be great at the end of the day. First time ever MR. WT and I road passenger in each others cars, and Dang that Miata is quick! After riding with WT, his aggression and sheer corner turn in and mid corner speed really showed me I was leaving some time on the table. I definitely had to dig deep in timed runs, was cool to pull out TTOD.
But man, I was not the only one who stepped it up. Dave Malmburg on his new skinny tire set up layed it down in Timed runs, as well as others. I'm going through the results, and I'm like who is this Rob Walker guy, he is flying! and I remember his name because last April in the SE lot I was 12th overall and behind Rob
. Cool to see lots of people really stepping it up, Ryan Mclune. Rocardo in his Cayman. I also really enjoyed meeting some newer members, The Van Noy's, and the Gildersleeve's. The club / driving events have a really fun and lively feel to it.
Big thanks to my Dad, Mark Kinninger for the last minute alignment tune up Friday night, Car felt better then ever. I know he really enjoys tinkering on these old air cooled cars, and then getting the reward of seeing them perform.
