I have seen the light...

<------me all day

Well i now understand the big deal with autocross.... ITS FUN!!!!! i cant stop grinning. i got to drive a msp too, very very awesome and rode in a type r through it.

drove the se-r, did pretty good for the first time, had some great help from people with experience, hell i think i out ran a new 911 turbo...

i pulled a 40.3 as my best times with a few other close by, the best time of the day was a ~37.... so i did very well.... most people were hitting 42s on average.


well ill post back later, im tired... nap time

hehe oh yea.... i think i like the se-r for autox better anyways...

nothin like bein up on one wheel


i did manage to get that technique down quite well, now i can do it almost too easily (read: atleast one tire off the ground when cornering all the time now) also it made all my friends and parents go holy **** so all the more fun
