Great variety of cars!
Hope you don't mind if I post a few I took last weekend...

Last weekends PCA event was less of an autocross because we used the mini-roadcourse rather than the tarmac lot.













Just got a new Camera set-up and got a little snap happy, the full set from Sunday is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/27225497@N04/sets/72157617354207186/

Kabel, no I don't mind at all! Looked like a fun event!

Tim, yeah I talked with the owner of the 355 quite a bit. Really nice guy. That Rantoul event was his first autocross he said and he didn't have a helmet so I loaned him mine. He was supposed to give me a ride along, but he had to take off early. See you this weekend at Parkland!

Just got back from the autocross at Parkland College. If any local guys here have an opportunity to go to a race, it is absolutely amazing. I have posted the website for local races. Hope to see everyone there. And bring your boxsters!!

How did that 355 autocross, compared to say the Boxster's?

That's a big autocross course, ours are never that large.

I got a ride in the 355 and a GTS viper at this past weekends autocross in Champaign. It was a lot of fun! The 355 driver is a novice and the course was small so we didn't really see what the car had, but we all had a great time. Here are a couple pics from the event. I wished I would've snapped some more, but I get side tracked easily. Tim, hope to meet up with you again at the next one man! It was great hanging out with you and your dad! Hey, and I might be a bit biased, but you have a kick a** boxster S!

Me getting ready for a ride in the ferrari!


Getting ready to go in the V10 beast!

Here are a couple videos of me doing my thing at Champaign. The course was short, but it was well layed out and tons of fun.

Haha...I wouldn't be surprised! Darn chicago boxes are tricky....just can't rush it or you kill cones. Heck on my first run I was off course and didn't even know it!

Tim, I'm going to the one in Terra Haute on May17th and I have to work the 16th, so I'm going to miss the Rantoul event. If you are game for Terra Haute let me know and we can either caravan or meet over there. It's at the Terra Haute airport and should be a great venue to get your feet wet.
