well well. the metro nyc autox wasnt THAT bad. sure... we only got 5 runs.. compared to the 9 nnjr got but like Adrial said, we were actually on the course longer overall!

i didn't do very well.. my car was all over the place.. oh well - i got first place in my class again, but beating someone with a 90second run wasnt very hard.
i guess it was fun.
y friend(with the RSX) went OC five times.. live and learn.. maybe he'll go to the Aug4 (my birthday,yay) one to try and get himself a time.

i didnt take very many pics but.. one of the coolest things about this autox was that a Ferrari 360 Modena actually competed.. and i got 3 shots of it on the course when i was doing coursework (no cameras allowed? whatever!) check it out:

Simon, I thought I explained this in the other thread, more time on the course isn't a good thing. Driving slower will get you more time on the course, driving faster will get you less.

How did the ferrari do? We had another viper, a coupe this time. Of course we schooled him . I wonder what it's like to have your viper beaten by 944NA's.
