How about that battle in FS - all three drivers separated by 0.077 seconds!


Yeah, and I was on the losing end! I enjoyed the event and had fun though. Looks like another good season of competition!

Congrats Art, but you are going down next time!

That was my fastest run too if I remember.... I'll take a look at it tonight when I'm outside the work firewall. Thanks!

Has anyone else noticed that there's a new chick breaking into the higher ranks on the pax results?? Former Chick School student Jennifer Bedell is moving on up in her MR2 Spyder. 29th in the first event. 28th in this event. YOU GO GIRL!!!!!! Nice driving!


Jennifer is really driving great. And she is getting faster in a hurry. C Stock is going to be a fun class this year and I hope we can all get faster as the year goes on.

With Jennifer, MJ and Rebecca in the class, if us guys don't speed up, chicks will indeed rule.


Charlie, You did pretty darn good, probably your best run ever. I felt that I did pretty well and I still got my butt handed to me not only by you but by Jennifer as well. I knew that she was going to be fast when I watched her in tire last year. I just didn’t think that she would pick it up this quickly. I wanted a strong C Stock class this year to bring me out of my stagnation. It’s now time for me to pick it up. I figured that I lost time going into the turn around and after the Chicago box. My excuse is that my son Anders scared the hell out of me on his runs. Maybe you can ride with him next time? That was a pretty impressive spin that he had. Anders now knows what happens when you lift too quickly in a slalom. His only comment whiles spinning was, ”Why don’t the brakes don’t work very well going backwards.” “That’s why the big brakes are in the front of the car “, says his Dad whiles hoping that the car will eventually stop. He did not however stall it. Anders has a 4th and a 3rd in his only Novice races. We got a new member in C Stock and just two months after getting his license. Congrats to the C stock victors!

Jeremy, why not put them in a shifter cart now and get them into autocross?
The kids we've watched in Charlotte and even down on Tour were really into it.

I hear you. We've said more than once, if we got our grandkids interested we'd have to quit running so we could afford to take them.

Noticed, and applauded. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

I'd better step up my act to beat her in pax!!!


Put her on race rubber and she rules :thumbsup: :woo:


I love Jennifer's "no fear" driving! She is driving awesome!


I came to this thread super-late (how did it get to be May already?), and now my ears are burning! Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement!! :D
