Grassroots Racing + Futility

Jun. 10, 2008 - June Update

So I was on my computer this morning and I realized that I hadn't made an entry in a while. Which at least is not my only entry in 2008...ahem...Andy. Part of the blame lies on my past semester of school. But I graduated last month so now I am remembering what free time was like. As far as the car goes the new setup is still going well. The first autocross of the season was great, it was the first time I have really gotten to see what the car was made of. It didn't feel all that different, but to have power so much lower in the rev range, to have added grip from the LSD, and to have a steering rack that makes it humanly possible to keep up in a tight slalom was great. And now that I am in SM things are a lot tighter than they were in DSP. Garold is still my competition, but I have a bunch of really fast guys up here in SM to compete with. Somehow I got lucky at the first event and won my class, probably due to the fact that I just happened to have the fastest clean run. All of us in SM had faster times, and my fastest would have only been good enough for second place, but thanks to our orange friends, things were different. Aside from the racing I am now the god father of my nephew Adam, which is also why I missed the second event, but some things are just more important. And I will unfortunately also miss event three, but once again, it will be more than worth it. I leave for Monterey, CA in a couple of days to visit a friend in the Air Force. And as I'm sure most of you are thinking already, I am already planning on going to Laguna Seca while I am there. I should even be able to get a free hot lap! So don't worry, pictures will be a plenty.

A place to show off my futile attempt at autocross and the like. Lets just hope the car holds together.
