No kidding Matt, six minutes on a great day. I probably had 20+ minutes seat time at the recent 24hr autocross at Winston Salem, but there was also more "standing around" :D

Man, I really would love to do a 12/24 hour event now that r-comp$ aren't in the equation. It's got to be a weird but kinda cool feeling trying to catch some shuteye with the sound of autocross cars launching and squeeling tires in the distance. Sounded like a fun time out there.

Ryan and I did a 24 hour back with the Talon and it wasn't as much fun as it sounds. We did force a competitor in a Grand Prix GXP to cord a set of brand new Hoosiers trying to beat our best time in ESP though. That part was cool. 8)

Oh but it is fun, Jumping in the car at 5:00 AM after 1 hour of sleep, not having to wait in line, doing a half dozen runs back to back and setting a new personal best time. I prefer it to the morning cup of joe.

I find sleeping at a regular AutoX to be quite easy, I'm guessing we could hold a 24 hour event at the Crown Coliseum and I could catch some zzzzz's in my own bed. :wink:

Speaking of sleep deprivation............
