He's still the M3?! Isn't he due for another car now?

I've been gone camping, so I haven't registered for the autocross yet. When I get back from work I'll see..

I signed up but I'm wait list #5, so we'll see how it goes. I guess I'm in STU (novice) as well, just because I have a short shifter.

I've not been to one before, but I'm guessing that it'll be winding down by then. This is the info link: http://www.tidewatersportscarclub.co...=26&Itemid=117

Bummer you can't make it. Thanks for holding up the honor of the RX-8 crowd at the rotary meet. Wish me luck on my first Autocross!

Not good either! I thought I was OK on the first half through the slalom, but I never figured out the big sweeper down by the beach and that second slalom coming out of the tight gate. Definitely stuff to work on. I'm sure my D-Specs will knock seconds off my times! LOL.

Here's some pics:

This Shelby 350 was a brute. I think the owner is the guy who runs the local rotary club. I didn't get to see if it's the same guy for sure (Calvin):


The man, the myth.....Derex'8:







Our 8's in the staging area afterwards



I so wanted to drive the car onto the LCAC!
