A Big Thanks
Something like you? You had EVERY advantage over me. Alignment. Sticky tires, Scrotch harness, lower car, more power, higher gear ratio, driving for 30 more years than me. ETC....

Except, he doesn't go out on twisty roads every day after school and practice.
City traffic and freeway driving don't really do anything for autocross. Even 30+ years of it.
Just wait, you will find out that your time gets constrained when you have to live on your own and your parents aren't putting dinner on the table every night.

Aah. But there you are wrong. Without regular meals, I will loose at least 10 pounds. My times should increase, not decrease

Nice...
I'm doing my own MINI crosses the states.
Steve: The DSL is up and running. All you will need for tomorrow to hook up to it is a 5'+ Ethernet cable... Also, the static IP address should be up later today, so you can get that tomorrow.

Any excuse?

Aah. I have a service on Monday. I'm going to have them fix a couple things that are broken on the MINI, including a loose badge and the light switch... I'm also going to get my rotors and pads replaced. Thunderhill wasn't kind to them...

Steve, we all care. Especially about twisties, beer, and fun times. Remember it's hard to organize the disorganized. Where is Brad with his ice cream run on Saturday in honoring Blakes leaving.
