My codriver Jon finished 2nd in class after struggling on Saturday, but pushing me hard on Sunday.

Here's Jon's Saturday video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzmTvqx6QdQ

Will you ever get bored with winning so much with this car?

Great driving

I finished up 6th in PAX at NNJR today which is a huge achievement for running in first heat with the rest of the fast guys in 3rd heat.

Here's my fastest:

Jon's fastest (he was faster in places but never put together a solid run):

6th in pax at NNJR is nothing to sneeze at. That's a great result. My experience is that jersey has a lot of nationally competitive guys usually.

Yeah but I was "only" 6th fastest last time at NNJR, I want to always get better!

I do think I drove better this time and just got screwed by the conditions. Maybe I wouldn't have won PAX but I'd be closer.

I like the trailer mod. Probably something I should do. The good thing about towing a miata with a 2500 suburban... it does not care where the car is on the trailer haha. I never put it at exactly the same spot.

Yeah, I've never loaded it at quite the same spot but now I don't have to worry about driving into the tool box on my trailer, haha.

Yup, 30th anniversary edition. Great package, would definitely have done that over my red, even though it has extra crap I don't need/want for autocross.

Competed at the Oscoda ProSolo this weekend. Pulled off a 1/2 in class with my codriver, Jon Car was feeling really good, neither of really nailed a run we were truly happy with, but Jon really pressured me on Sunday!

Here's my best left side run:

Here's my best right side run:

I helped design the course today on one of our little lots. I drove pretty well, but man the car just wasn't good on this course/surface. Pulled off a 5th in PAX and a tiny margin over Jon.

Good first day at Nats. Give it hell today.

For anyone not paying attention, DocWalt is .7 sec out of first after the first day. Puts him in third currently.

Here's my videos. Good for 2nd in CS. Not very happy with my East course run. Those slow 90 degree corners with walls or other pinches on exit sucked. If I never see those again I'll be happy Otherwise the East course was awesome. West course was also a ton of fun, and I drove it much better (slalom was a little sloppy on this run, found ~1.5 tenths on run 3 but blew other stuff by changing setup and making the car too pushy)

East:

West:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23yvxRvhs0M

Jon's runs. He struggled with the silly 90 degree corners on East more than me (thanks to him for warning me that they sucked!) and he put together like 95% of a run beating me on West course but ended up overshooting a corner

East:

Congrats on the 2nd place.

I would have overdrove those 90s just like your codriver. Your runs looked pretty good, only a few spots where I thought you could have been a little tighter and a little faster. Its crazy how good a run needs to be to win. 2nd is quite an accomplishment.

Thanks dude! I appreciate you watching along at home

I over drove those 90s pretty badly too. I did them well on first run then just struggled.

My West course run was the fastest CS run, but knowing I left time out there annoys me. Next year in STR should be fun! I've got everything but wheels and a tune ready to go now
