So yesterday we took the c4 and boxster to San Diego for the autocross .

Obviously I am an awesome team chief and i had everything planned to perfection .
so I was still fitting the new wheels and tires where on the boxster about 7 hours before we had to set off , then rushing to the FedEx store to print our inspection sheets
But it seems i forget to check the so called "important" stuff .
The scruteneers overlooked the fact I had fitted nice new wheels and failed the boxster as I hadn't secured the battery

So we both shared the carrera .

We had an awesome time , and I'd like to thank the sd pca for being great hosts , and our instructors for having patience , a sense of humor , and a great deal of knowledge to pass on to us

Due to the carrera being a pdk launch car it was well specced by the factory .
But the car came with LSD , sportPASM , M030 etc so they all added up to put it in the cc11 class even though I only added 20 class-points for the gt3 cup-lip .
And THAT is my excuse for finishing bottom in class
( we are ignoring the fact my car is about 100 times more capable than my driving is )


The timing office put Debbie in the cc11L ladies class .

Which she won ...

Great ... She gets a medal , I get to pay for a new set of tires .... Typical !!!

Out of the 119 racers I was expecting us to come in 118 and 119 , but we both did well !!

I only got a"talking to" once too !!
First lap first corner spin-off , followed by another spin-off around the half-mile point

Remarkable considering I was expecting to get banned from San Diego and a bill for damaged cones

I didn't get any pictures , but did manage a few videos of Debbie driving .

Here she is at the start , and driving past me on the first strait
I think it gets around 70-80 mph before braking for the 90* left ?
