good job...i don't autox but hopefully will enter my first 944 cup race next season after i get my car finished

this season i pit crewed for 4 944 cup races (3 @ Summit, Watkins Glen) and made lots of new friends and learned a ton...for my work i was given a set of dry and wet tires, racing belts, and a bunch of useful items

this winter i get my suspension completely redone, brake system completely redone, bottom end of engine rebuilt (rod bearings are notorious of wearing out on the #2 bank), roll cage and safety equipment installed and get several other small ticket items done (like battery cut off switch, new battery cables)

next winter will be rebuild the tranny (have the factory lsd) and get a short 5th gear installed...so for the 2007 season i can go for rookie of the year

I was never in any class long enough to accrue points toward season championships. I'm in the top 10 in all regions in the PAX championship, but we still have a couple of events left.

And I coned my way to 31/34 at Nats where we admittedly brought a stick to a gunfight.

In the CS Miata, we'll see how it goes. Good results to date.

I'm pretty satisfied with my rookie season. I def wanna thank all the guys like Arren, Mike, and Jeff for helping me get started the right way. Hard to get any 1st place finishes when you compete against the guy who:

Mine went good, still trying to improve my driving.

Various mid to end of pack finishes in SM.

The best was my last of the season

Furrin Group/MYAutoImport Center Autocross 3rd in SM out of 8 or 9 cars.

Soon in January the Snow/Ice autocrosses begin in Michigan!
