A buddy of mine had never done an Auto-X before last weekend. I let him drive my car, and he beat me in it!

just for clarification to you Supercharged and Turbocharged vehicles....
I have spoken to our tech gods, and according to the WSCC rules, in order to qualify, you must be naturally aspirated. I did a little more digging, and the answer is that you ARE allowed ro run, but you will be classified as an exibition vehicle, and thus unable to win a trophy or accumulate points for the WSCC year end awards. Fun - yes. Trophies - no.
Thanks,
David Wilson / SCC Racing Director.
P.S. - N02 must be turned off at the bottle or you can't run. This is an FAA controlled facility, and you WILL be fined if you spray

Can't wait to try out my new meats. I was told I would improve by 1 1/2-2 secs off my time. Haven't autocrossed for almost 2 years now. I've almost lost my nerve, but I think the tires overall, will give me the confidence I need to let it rip!!

Dave---strike me out. I'll be at Thunderhill for the SCCA road race school. Couldn't get out of it it looks like. Things might change at the last minute--but probably not.

I spoke to Kurt last night and your "Miracle" assessment was confirmed. I'll scratch you for now.
