Most fun I've ever had autoxin! Pretty special day when I drive my ass off to compete with guys like Walker, Brown, and Collett. Thanks to all who put it on. I haven't had an adrenaline pump like that in a while.

Great event everybody! I hear they'll be running it again tomorrow. :twisted:

John, that course was awesome and I'm glad we did the lap and a half. I wouldn't want every AX to last til 7pm, but every once in a while is alright with me, especially with a fun course like today. Thanks for the ride, also. I like that car a lot. I was surprised I got into the shootout, but in that car... 8)

Had fun yesterday! Wish I could've been a bit faster, but at least it felt smooth.

Hope to have my vids up later this weekend.

Results will be up today sometime. I will have to get the computers from lin at some point

Darby, the adesa employees are running the course today. A little fun for them in exchange for letting us use the site.

I'm glad it went well and everybody had a blast. I always seem to miss "the best course ever" and "that was the most fun" events :(

Thanks to everyone who came and helped make this a special event. I havent heard any numbers from UW but everyone involved was happy with the day and already talking about how to make next year even better. Now I just got to find the weather steward and have a few words with him/her.

Great event yesterday. It was definitely a long day but I had a great time. Sorry to the course workers for my first two runs. Those tires apparently decided to be done after the first 10 feet or so.

Thanks a bunch to all of the out of towners that decided to attend. It was great to see you all and thanks for supporting the event!

Also thanks to Phil for letting me flog the 911 a little. When we got the oversteer calmed a little, the car was a ton of fun!

I only got one run in and broke the sway bar mount or should I say pulled the bolts through the brace half way into the run, but the drag strip down the middle was a blast. Had a lot of fun with Chris talking smack before we got to run and he asked if I was ready for him to bring the pain, all I got to say is "come on man". It was great to see a lot of out of towners there supporting this event. Great job on the course jb. Looking forward to that site next year. JY

That was a great event, I wish every course could be that fast! Great job to everyone who put it on.

Here's my fastest raw time of the day, 60.3xx +1. No idea where I hit the cone either, lol. Did a 60.6xx in the dogfight but didn't have the gopro going.

And Cather's 59.0xx from the dogfight, didn't get he's fastest of 58.6xx on video either :(
