I've been driving low horsepower, lightweight, FWD cars four over four years and today I drove the M3. I think I could have driven the civic at least as fast, maybe faster, but IMO, it's easier to drive.

I have to hand it to you folks driving the faster RWD cars. I'm not a driver known for balance and smoothness, and it was obvious today. Anyone with video of today's runs?

Had I been invited to the STU group (or had I realized the pax was better) I would have placed 20th instead of 30th. All in all, I'm happy because I never felt comfortable with the car. My line sucked, I was hardly looking ahead, and I was overdriving the car.

With some seat time next season, maybe I'll be ready to receive training from Yoda and take the next step!

Phil... will be busy tonight cleaning the grass out of the interior of the car!

No invitation required. In fact, I had never run before. On Saturday, Kevin, Adam B and I thought it would be fun to go stir things up over there :)

Hey, Phil - you should've run STU - then Christine could've beaten 2 boys with M3's.

:D

Actually, I miscalculated on the difference between the two classes. I wouldn't have moved any in the indexed results, so she beat me either way!
