What do you think the turn out should be? I'm not thinking of running but I'd like to watch. I only have a SUV anymore.

Don't know if anybody on here went to watch or participate. Anyway, I placed 1st again in Super Stock. In fact, I was almost in the running for FTD which refers to "Fastest time of the Day". One small mistake of bumping a cone early in my 3rd run ruined my closest chance to achieving that milestone. Anyway, my 1st two runs were still fast and I was able to achieve 9th fastest time out of 129 entries.

I also have something new to post. I have a video of what i think is my 2nd run. This is the 1st time I have been able to see myself running. I was actually amazed at how smooth I looked as it doesn't feel that smooth when sitting in the drivers seat spinning the wheel like a maniac. For comparison, you can see and hear some of the corvette who was following behind me and the smoothness difference is noticeable. I think that 2nd corvette was about 4-5 seconds slower than me. BTW, being smooth is one of the biggest keys to being fast in AX. So here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dK_fN0pU4A

Good going. Now all you need is some data acquisition and video to help you out. :wtg:

I'm not sure data aquisition is even allowed in the "stock" classes. What I really need is to go to Hutchison Island events and use them as practice. Wouldn't hurt either to install the allowed front sway bar change and do an AX alignment.
