Yeah, hangovers and autocross don't mix.

I still regret going to beerfest in Greenboro on the Saturday night of the '06 NCAC. I thought I was going to die!! :twisted:

Live and learn.



Sure they do as long as it is the competition that is hungover... :)


Remebers fondly a woozy Matt Nicholson at an NCAC event after Partying with Hayward Wagner...

I say we charge an extra $10 and rent a pool to hang out in between runs.

IMHO, there was a much stronger breeze on the highway side of the site. That didn't help

You have never had an HUMBLE opinion in your life.

we could spray the lot with firehoses and make it one big skid pad. :twisted:

would make course set-up and break down go much quicker.

start cone



finish cone

Done

Glad you came out of it ok. :)

I made a tire budget choice of skipping this one and saving them for Danville. I'm kind of glad I missed it, but since I tend to change my tyres in the hottest part of the day too I'll be extra careful from now on. Thanks!

BTW, you'll also be glad to know that 5 wins seals the season. Congratulations on HS Champion!

(But I'll be chasing to close the points gap, and I'm sure Judi will too!)

If it's 100 degrees for D'ville I may leave the driving to you and Judi. :(

I blame new math. Or the lack of it, in my case. :oops:
