Yes, congratulations is in order for these guys. I think I may have been just as pumped as they were that they won (well, maybe not!). Couldn't happen to two better guys.



Some more of the victors' cars........



Didn't really get any good pics of your cars Dan, Harry or Jerry, but I did catch a cicada trying to crawl under Jeremy's splitter (he had to squeeze under there, bumped his head)......


A personal favorite car of mine at the show......


And my favorite pic, beautiful car, and it won it's class, but check the category it was placed in......


It's getting late, more pics to come tomorrow..........

Ykes! Who are those clowns with Ronald McDonald?
I didn't get very many pics at all. I'll try to get some good ones at the auto-x today and the museum tour this afternoon.

I had a blast! All of the cars were nice! I'm glad that Pete and Chris won, sad that Harry didn't. He got my vote!

Pete, It's go-time!

The only downside to the weekend was the poor squirrel that wouldn't get out of my way while I was leading the orange group on the drive. I tried hard to avoid him, but he insisted on darting into my splitter. Poor guy

I don't have any pics as I was too busy having fun. The track just got greasier on the afternoon runs (3), so I never was able to make up the .4 seconds that Dan got me by. Congrats go out to him! Condolences go out to the guy in the 968 and the other 944's that we spanked, and Brad in his M3.

I know that Erin and Wade got a lot of pics, I'm certain they will post.

Congrats go out to Pete and Harry for doing their first autocross events. Harry, I'm glad you were finally able to find your way around the course (you too Pete).

Harry,
I didn't get there until after you left. Just caught Pete before he left. Shoulda' got there sooner I guess. Sorry I missed the 912 on it's paces, sounds like you had a blast.

Got a few pics, but don't have time right now to edit and upload, may have to do that late tonite or tomorrow. And Tifo, like I said, some did turn out to be unusable, but there are a few salvagable ones that are pretty good, I think you'll like................I think I will tail them onto xsboost's post.......

Yeah Dan, it was the last event as part of the Tal MaGaraj Event weekend. It is always around the first of June, would love to see some of you northern guys come down for it, if just for the car show and to watch the autocross.

Yep. Dayton. 3 Day event.
This was my first Taj Kreuzers event- what a blast. I'm tired and going to bed soon. I was talking with XSBoobs and he figured he drove 400 miles in 3 days for all the events. I did almost the same.
(We did however miss the Taj open house, the GT3 and CGT- Saving that for next time there was actually too much to do in one weekend.
