Auto Cross #2

Second session for the Milwaukee SCCA Auto cross season.

First, Thanks to Tracy for letting me go and sorry to Mom for not doing anything with you.  I will make it up to both of you.

This Sunday was much nicer than the last time.  Warmer yet cool breeze.  Enough to fool me in the morning to not wear a hat and set some wicked sunburn.  2 days later and aloe 2x a day and I am still in some pain.

Anyway, The course was longer than last time but faster.  This time no DNF's  I ran the course perfect all 6 times and only hit cones on one of my runs.

I was the only person in my class, so I technically won it, but was grouped into the open class and did not fare so well.  Worst time of the day was 73.482 and my  best time was 69.748.   Depending on the car class you put me in I was either 108 out of 139  or 53 of 139.

This classing is very confusing.  Because of my wheels I am not considered stock,  even though they are the stock tires.  This is Street Touring Unlimited.  Which then opens me up for all kinds of performance enhancements.  Kinda sucks for me, so my adjusted time in that class is 108th overall.   If I were to just say I was stock and for the most part I am.  I place 53rd with my adjusted times.  Even some of the stock class have more modifications than I do.  The book that talks about the classes and rules is over 300 pages long.

Either way you look, I still have fun and I have a lot of room to improve.

I have cool 'real' numbers now too!
