Wish I could have been there. Unfortunately, health issues kept me home. Didn't want to risk being out in the heat :(

Maybe next time.

My first event with ETR, and I really enjoyed it. Good group of people and a great course design. I haven't auto-crossed at all in 2 years and seriously for 4 years. It was a perfect course to come back to, I just couldn't make up my mind on the 4 optional slaloms! I'm looking forward to getting the miata dialed in and some rubber worn off of these R1R's.

PS: I broke an an exhaust hanger the day before the race and the extra movement made a flange bolt back out, noticed it this morning. Sorry if anyone finds a bolt or nut burried in their R-comps.

Great event as always! I had some tail happy issues on my first couple runs but was really pleased with my last run, so it's all good! It was nice not trying to keep up with Marcus W's STI for once ;) Bet that thing will be a beast when you get it back, heh.

I know the whole "opinions are like a$$holes" thing, but I notice you were driving with one hand. I bet your times would improve using 2 at 9 and 3.

But he's obviously using his right hand to tickle his friend the whole run, right? :lol:

I know you are talking about Marcus's videos, but I'm not strong enough to drive my car with one hand. :lol:
