April 7 AX

Postby NickP on Sun Apr 08, 2012 9:16 pm

I just want to lob in a thank you to all the fine volunteers who put in a ton of work to make our region's autocross days such an enjoyable day. I'm still fairly new at the AX scene but EVERYONE involved is very helpful, friendly, welcoming, patient, and has a A+ attitude. I dare not try and mention names because I'll leave half of you out, but I do want to acknowledge how well run and fun the AX events are and it's because there are some great folks giving their time so guys like me can have a fun day.

I really enjoyed bringing my silver 73S to the stadium, and although I'm pretty cautious in that car, I came away realizing that I have a long way to go before I come close to driving that car to its limit. I thought this month's track was great.

Awesome event all (track designers, chairs, volunteers, VDIs, instructors, drivers, etc). I had a super fun day!

Great track (FAST!) and a well run event. Good job everyone! Too bad my fuel pump decided to quit working. :banghead: Oh well, better at Qualcomm than at CFOS.

I'll echo all of this! Great fast track! I was able to have a full day of driving fun, get timed runs in, go to the grocery store, pick up lunch for my awesome wife who let me have my day of fun with a 10 day old baby and be home by 3!!! Sorry I couldn't stick around and help pack things up so thanks to all that did!

Was that also a result of my driving it at the Instructor Day :banghead:

There's no telling how much damage you may have done to my car that day. It couldn't have been me. I only drive that car on occasional weekends. I probably only put about 1500 miles a year on that car. I think you were trying to get it to go fast. It doesn't do that. It's a 944. :roflmao:
