Well we just met, but I can see by your capitalization that you are a quick and astute judge of character.

Hopefully it was oozing of sarcasm. Had a good time meeting the new people out there. Your car ran good.

OK, maybe not asshole, but I definitely have a smartass streak. I'm pretty much unable to communicate except in random counterpunches when I feel its funny.

I enjoy the autocross scene. Most everybody is more than happy to help, share good ideas (and bad ones too), and mostly just share a passion for cars and driving. I know we saw about 30 Miatas saturday but you see an eclectic group of cars. E.g. at the last event I went to had a V-8 MG c/w flame paint job. Kind of a handful, but the guy was having a blast wheeling his ride.

Most of us are a work in progress. The stopwatch doesn't lie. I'd like to puff up and talk about how I beat a SC Viper at this event and a 427 cobra at the last, but I'd also have to admit that I got pounded by a 60s Mini AND a damn Nissan Sentra so none of that happend.

LOL.

Here's my "best" run in the AM (somebody left his GoPro on and ran down its battery):

60's mini on ATV tires.

I loved the nonchalant atmosphere of the whole event. Whoever were taking turns behind the speakers kept me pretty entertained when I was working the course.

I agree was a very fun event. Can't wait to do more of the NTAXS events. I heard the tires for the old school Mini were like $13 each. I would do burnouts everywhere if my tires were that cheap lol

Here are the videos of my best clean run in the AM

Apparently it was the last event ever there at that track and it was sold today. Explains why they didn't turn on the bathroom water for us. lol

Yeah, on Facebook it was going around the new owners gave the current management until Friday to vacate. The fact they didn't turn on the water was bullshit, in my personal opinion.

Heresay is that DR was the last piece of land on that side of 175 the new owners had yet to buy, and they owned the rest of the surrounding land.

Finally got my videos of my 4 morning runs uploaded.

Run 4 of the AM was also my best run for the counterclockwise course layout. Came in with a 65.480.
