Woke up this morning and went to the SCCA sponsored autocross at the Florida Fairgrounds. The track was ok nothing special but it was still a lot of fun. Ran in Novice class since I didnt know what to expect and I think I did pretty well with a 47.2; I know with just one more run I could have made it into the 46s.
We all got 4 runs each and the weather stayed nice overcast and cool the whole time.
Best part of the day was watching a mustang take out the timing light that the organizers had just spent 15minutes setting up.

Didnt see anyone from TR.com out there aside from Charles where were you all?

Marc Jarin and Jarins father (black s2000) were also there not sure if they are members of TR or not..

I got first in DSP (bumped up from STR) a WRX got second in DSP. My best time was a 43.807 and I missed cones the whole day I did finally hit one during a fun run though.

Yeah it was a blast I took 1st in Street Mod w/ a 42.438 my first two runs sucked and were in the 44s then I started getting better at the slalom and was able to get better times on my 3rd and 4th run and get two 42s. I know I could have pulled a high 41 cause I kept screwing up the 180 degree turn and pushing like crazy but I still got 3rd fastest time of day.
