I second that. Thank you Tim for all the hard work you put in to make the Street Survival School the success it was today. Thanks to Jinny too for all the organizational help. Speaking as one of the instructors, it was a very good day watching the students learn how better to control their cars, int...

Great course and event. I'm sorry I wasn't in the Autocrosser of the Year chase this time, but not being involved gave me a bit of detachment to observe the drama that was unfolding in the final event that I might have missed otherwise. And what a chase it was. Mark Foley missed the first event of t...

This is fun. The end of the year points race for AOTY! I only wish I could play a part in it. I guess that will have to wait until next year....I hope. I'm pretty sure Opie will show up on the 27th, and you know Opie....he can put everybody on the trailer if he's "on." It will all be fun to watch. Bud

I'd be glad to if I can find a space in all the action. This next autocross I am co-driving with another guy and will ride with him when he's driving to give some feedback. If I'm in the same heat with you then it might work to ride along. I'm sure some others would be willing too.

I'm sure that would have been Gregg McNabb who runs Gene's Gallery in Springfield. He sells all kinds of motorcycle accessories and should know what you need in a helmet.

Say, that was fun. You know, you get a new pair of eyes to set up a course and you get new elements and angles and features that you haven't seen before. Thanks to Scott for being course builder. It was an enjoyable yet challenging course. Many many thanks to Matt for letting me drive the "Formula L...

Well, (cough, cough) ahem....uh, I wish to, uh, issue an apology to those 1st heat corner workers who had to run for their lives when a wayward Lotus, inexpertly driven by yours truly, came sliding sideways toward them. Yeah, as it turns out, a mid-engined, short, and lightweight two-seater doesn't ...

Regarding your wish to change your tire size now.... The rules are still in the proposal stage, as I understand it, and I want to see what they finally end up with. They may still not approve changing tire sizes up or down 1" in diameter. I had made tentative plans for a Mini Cooper, normally aspira...

Hey, most fun I've had autocrossing for awhile. Being in a different car (Forrest's) is always a fresh experience and it renews my interest in improving those driving skills. Driving on street tires was much fun too....lots of slip angle....start turning the steering wheel about 20 yards before you ...

Hey, good for you. Another idea is to not only come and race, and also ride with someone in between your runs who is experienced so you can get a better feel for all this.

I'm interested in Minis so I'll keep an eye out for you.

Course

Yup, so what kind of a course do we all want for Sunday? I nice open course for the ground-pounders? A technical course for the intellectually inclined? Some tight-a** thing that no one would like? Well, the truth is I haven't a clue at this point. I will be driving with Forrest in his Mazda 3 in an...
