My first racing event in person. I can't wait, but I might have to bug out early. Have to make a trip to the cities that night. And then over the course of the week put on 1000 over the course of the next week. I am glad I get to do it in my coops.
Jarred, thanks for posting! It was great meeting you today. Pics coming soon...

It sure turned out to be a gorgeous day. It was great fun seeing everyone at the autocross today and watching all of the interesting cars careen around the course. It was especially fine to meet Phil and Jarred for the first time. Congrats to Phil, Bill, David, and Jeff for the great laps!

Here are a few pics for you to enjoy...

I know I am always slow but here is a link to my photo contribution:

There are 45 of the 342 I took. My trigger finger gets a little carried away Then it takes too long to weed through them all. They are kind of like my children- I love them all!

I love them too. Really captures the flavor and variety of the event (I think I had MINI tunnel vision). Some really nice close ups too! I'll get these moved on to the website ASAP.

Did you notice the purple in that helmet? I think you need one.
