I am now registered in the Street Modified class. I hope to do some better driving this time with borrowed slicks, big brakes up front and the lack of a vacuum leak that I had at the last event. I'll see you there.

The Talon is prepared and ready for the trip to Mossville tomorrow morning. A quick change onto a set of slicks at the site, and we will be ready to rock!
I plan to get to Mossville around 9am. -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

Marcus showed and had some fun.
Dan got first in his class, but it got bumped to another class where he ended up just out of the trophies. I thought I was beaten, but started to remember how to drive an autocross and somehow managed first in my class. I really didn't think I had. This was a big reminder that power needs to be toned down for autocross. Like bringing a gun to a knife fight: you kill everything instead of just slicin' it up - or somethin' like that! 83 cars made it. Good event, some really good driving: Mazda RX-8, Formula SAE car, SRT-4 are just a few cars that had things sorted out and some awesome drivers! -------------------- ... she likes bein' forced ...

This was a great and well organized event. Lots of fun. Wish more folks could of made it out. Not sure how many other cars were in my class. That being said I'm happy with my times. Petty damn close to an evo owner on the board I might add... Great time.

Like bringing a gun to a knife fight: you kill everything instead of just slicin' it up - or somethin' like that! Dan described it as using a chainsaw for brain surgery! I thought that was hilarious and accurate! You guys did very well and I was happy I made it through the violence of driving the Talon through the course alive. Battered, but alive. Sounds like we all had a great time and I've got a farmers tan to remind me of it!!! -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

Just has to make it to Rantoul and back for autocross, dood.
There was a commercial photog at the event. Dan, Marcus and I were all in heat #2. Here's the link: http://www.cisportsphotos.com/p488395057 He was going to put one pic for each car in heat 2 up, then do the same for heat 3, going back and forth until he has the 5 best of each car. Heat 1's already up, I guess. -------------------- ... she likes bein' forced ...
