joe ran a 1min 1.xxx he is friggin fast.

during the furn run he gave me a ride and going into the first turn he was a little too hot to the rear end slid out but he counter steered and fed it more gas. result a perfect 4 wheel slide out of the turn and perfectly lined up fot the next gate :thumbup:

he is fast

on a side note: my car will be displayed at this year SF autoshow, at the SCCA display
yeah, that EVO posted 1.03.xx his first run of the day.

On ur first or second run of the day, you were doing a good job keeping the M under control given the conditions and the announcer was giving you props for doing so. As soon as he finished his sentence, you spun out just before the last swooping turn. :chuckles:

yeah man, that dude was in his own world. When he made that turn I was thinking "didn't you see the 6 cars before you?" And then he follows up w/a 2 minute plus lap:lmfao:

I take it you're not going tomorrow? Yeah, autox can get expensive, especially when ur rocking yoko's

seat time is one of the more important aspect
but so is riding with faster drivers and having faster drivers ride with you so tell you what your doing wrong.

the best way to get the above three is autox school

you get tons of seat time plus good instructors


and I would not say i'm anywhere good. my friend in the EVO is freaking good. I predict he will take 1st or 2nd in his class at the sacrmento regions and probably 2 or 3rd in his class at SF region which is tougher. (i mean next season he will)
