The present owner is a super nice guy. Our regular local AM driver decided to drive a DM car yesterday, would have been cool to have mods running together, also kinda wish we had put CM, AM and KM all in the same heat, would have made for fun spectating. Guess I was too busy to think of that when it mattered.
That would be a national champion and SCCA DOTY making an autocross run in her eco boost Flex. For the next run 5 of us piled in and rode along. And she still beat 10 drivers in their dedicated AX cars!
Good way to close out the season

I got to see a Del Long D/Mod Jeep the other weekend. Pretty cool.
A little personal backstory on this one.
I finished second in September in my ES miata at Daytona. It was an 11 car field, with nine Miatas, One Porsche, and an MR2.
I finished second to the MR2, but I couldn't catch him.
Not counting driving the only car in my class, this was my best finish ever. I just started autocross 15 months earlier.
I asked a friend of mine the next week who the driver was. He said, "Oh, that's fast Phil Curran. He's been doing this since they invented dirt."
I was very relieved to see this getting unloaded when I pulled into the paddock yesterday. Fast Phil, indeed!

Cindy is an amazing driver and is one of the people I have to blame for me getting started autocrossing back in '03-04. I wish we still had more events here in the Louisville area.
I also had the best ride along I've ever had, in the LS1-Kart with GRM forum member Go_Gators.
Edited to add the photo. Too bad you can't see the big grin on my face!

Not like you'd show up...

My "Seen At The Autocross" yesterday, was someone in my area owns the infamous Andy Hollis "Tow Package" STS EF Civic, sans the "tow package", and brought it out to play. Still a darned impressive little car.
That would be me. Wasn't my best day in that car
