^^ Holy chit.
I'll add my two cents in... BIG thank-yous are in order for...
Dave Lingenfelter for offering his STS Miata, even though the "tire temps" reasoning didn't shake out quite as planned. Was a blast pushing it around the course when it was so damp out! Ray for accomodating my insane schedule on Sunday so I could somehow autocross and DJ a wedding within hours of each other. Cody for opening up his house on Saturday night for the get-together... shame no other schools showed up, after they told everyone they would. Slackers. The officers for getting a great MM turnout at the event... between driving and spectating there was a ton of purple wandering around and it was great to see!
I wish I could have stayed longer on Sunday... as it was, I had to cut it veryyyy close in getting up to Sterling. I was fortunate that I saw zero blue-light-special Crown Vics the entire drive home.
Had a fun battle with Dr. Thomas for a few runs Sunday morning in which we took turns pulling FTD back and forth. He did get me eventually. Saturday was a good time, too, if a bit hectic. I think there were too many people there on Saturday to make the day's format go smoothly and allow for enough run time. Lessons to learn for next year...
On to VIR!
