We missed you Dave. Saturday was fun in the rain and running slicks, but I made the best of it because I had to leave early. Sunday was a blast. I think our car made it around the track about 60 times.

Just couldn't make it yesterday. I was invited to a suite at the niner game. Couldn't make the timing work for both events. however, with that said, it seems it would have been more exciting to do the autox vs. watch the niners loose.

Here are some pics I took of you guys. My car pushed like crazy on the first day. Afterward I went to a tire dealer in Fairfield and had them disconnect the rear sway bar…..problem solved! The car handles better than it ever has. Anyone have a pic of me in my green 67 roadster?

Thanks Nik, it brings fond, if slower, memories of the autox.
