FYI, Cam handily won the "Reasonably Priced Car (RPC)" challenge.  An old Miata with no power steering, and anyone could take a run for $5.  They made Cam take a second run because they didn't believe his time :)

What can I say, I have a knack for autocrossing beaters.

Was a good event though, nice sized venue, would be awesome to have something like that here. Wind definitely sucked, pretty cold in the morning but at least it wasn't snowing.

One conclusion I can draw from the event -- Dunlop ZII tires definitely do not go bad over the winter.

Congrats Jo, Murray, Wayne & Cam, very impressive.

Cam you were driving a 350Z, what happened to your Miata?

Great showing by everyone that went down.  I guess the rest of us will have some catching up to do at the first event.

I have to admit that this last weekend was a great ego booster.  I haven't set FTD raw for a long time, and having competitors coming up and acting awestruck (or dis-believing) was pretty nice.  The icing on the cake was having one guy calling the four of us "ringers" (in a nice way) as we drove away in the evening :)

Was co-driving with Wayne in his car.  Little more economical for a one day trip.  Plus.. the Z has torque  :D

That's great news Murray and a fabulous way to start your season. Sounds like I'm going to get my arse kicked when I see you guys in a couple of weeks.  :(
