Default Random shots from the auto x today

No action shots as Mike and I ran the same heat so we couldn't trade cameras. It was a fast, fun course and the rain really helped Mike and I. Again... it was good fun hanging out and racing with ya Mike.

The dude with the Lotus has only one arm and its incredible that he still races.

Is that actually an Esprit, or a tube chassis that looks like an Esprit? Where's the door?

And is that a GT40 replica?

GT40 is a replica, I believe that Lotus is a fiberglass body Europa on a tube chassis.

I got back in 2 hours Long drive though. And traffic wasn't bad at all and no cops except for one with his hood popped open and smoking

I was averaging a little over the speed limit. Getting some rest tonight and go to another one tomorrow.

First heat - wet track that began drying
Second heat - bone dry track. Mike and I ran this heat, I was went on course right before Mike. My last run I come towards the finish and find water on my windshield. Mike comes in from his run and the skies open up.
Third heat - wet track again

Don't know what happened fourth heat because we left.

Best of luck tomorrow Mike.
