Nice pics from recent RallyCross

Worth checking out. I like this site too, very nice setup for viewing photos. A couple shots of me in there, but not too impressive with mostly smooth street tires.

I didn't do too well overall, but at least I was able to drive home! The track was very rough after the first few runs, with some pretty deep ruts and stuff. If you weren't will to destroy your car, then you weren't going to place well. Besides, Sumitomos don't have much tread to work with (nearly slick right now). After three runs, I decided that I just wasn't willing to abuse my baby that way. She still hasn't forgiven me for taking her to a place like that, and she's letting me know (burnt fuel pump wiring yesterday). But we're seeing a counselor and I think we'll be able to work things out....

The Subies and Evos were as spectacular as you would expect. Some of those drivers were real wild men, obviously willing to destroy their cars to get a good time in. Very impressive to watch, I'm just glad I don't have to work on their cars!

I hope the counseling works out for both of you. Best chuckle of the day, thanks.
