Steve0x, thanks for the Daytona vid and the compliment! It looked pretty neat running on the course with fewer cones and more of just the road course. For the Richmond Porsche Meet we rent Southside Speedway, kinda a third-tier Nascar oval. The walls are effin scary! For the past 5 years I have finished 2nd to Bobby Smith in his 914 ... he was the PCA FTD at the 2006 Parade in Charlotte. He's a great guy and we're having fun with our little rivalry. Here's the link to my best run from this year:

I appreciate being called smooth, and I'd like to toss out a tip about smoothness. Being smooth is one of the tips everyone offers to novice AXers. For a couple of years I worked hard at being smooth and was stuck in the middle of the field. I started paying attention to the FTD contenders at SCCA events and it really hit me... screw smooth, you've gotta be fast. When I put fast first, I got faster. Smoothness is an accessory to speed, not the other way around. To win, get comfortable driving on the ragged edge of control (don,t be afraid to totally loose it or kill some cones) and then make it smooth, not the other way around.
Lot's of the best AXers only have one clean run in an event... and it's the winner!
