ER Autocross #2 - Mineral Wells

[El_Tortuga]

No Mustang pics as we were all lumped together in the same run group, and I can't shoot and drive at the same time.

Bested a ZL-1, but not beating this Camaro. LOL. 900 hp twin turbo LS motor:

Doesn't look like much here, but he's something like 8 or 9 time national champ:

Best looking Porsche, IMHO:

This car ripped, at least until he put down a big oil slick (ouch). Boost buggies are cool, but they go bang:

Good job on besting Brian. I was grouped with him Saturday. Cool guy and hopefully we will see him around more events. How'd the car feel?

I'll put up some of the in-car videos I took later and some of the pictures! It was definitely a blast. Much better than the other autocross I did with them in 2013. That porsche was indeed beautiful and it handled like a beast. The subbie was way too loud.

In the first 4 heats, Joe and I were carrying the novice group, but then gradually dropped. MUSTANGS FTW! Wish you guys stayed and we had some more 5.0 competition.

Yeah, I wish I could've made it back out, but had other plans. Adam wouldn't have returned because his Konis took a shit on him Saturday afternoon.

His old lady is named "Koni"? ;) Sounded like a kitchen pass issue to me. LOL.

I'd like to claim I have a lot of scene control, but the truth is that we both kind of give a little, get a little.

My car was good, no issues nor complaints other than I forgot to plug in the stock belts so it was chiming like crazy during my first 4 runs. Its driver could have done better. On Saturday, I learned a lot, felt really good and was pretty confident. On Sunday, I felt out of sorts and never seemd to put it all together. My own "fix-it" list is pretty long. Lets call it a "work in progress".
