and the porsche guys got their butts handed to them by that black, 2 generation old miata... that probably cost 1/3 as much when it was new.
except for that GT3. he was pretty quick.

Oh yes, and my kick *** ML diving under on EVERY single tight turn. Best time 63 seconds. I dont think thats too bad for a 5000 lbs tug that understeers like a pig.

haters crazy
Nice meeting everybody and thanks to Pete and Rob Allen for setting all this up. I had a blast. I already knew the Porsches would crush the AMG's in a autocross, thats what they are made for. Now lets go to the 1/4 mile drag strip and watch the Porsche guys/girls get their asses handed to them!

52.something seconds for me, in the HEIGHT of the rainstorm ... That instructor I had as a passenger was definitely disruptive to my concentration ...
I forgot my camera's docking station @ home so no pix of the meet from me until tomorrow @ best; no pix of today @ the AutoX since my battery died.

I'm pretty happy for my 1st time doing this AutoX thing for real in my car. I was definitely holding back until the last 3 runs in the height of the rain storm; can't even count the runs with the passenger who while helping me with technique and the track, definitely supressed my wild side from showing.

MBs and organized meets just don't seem to get along. I'm not surprised at the high flake factor.
As far as the autox, seems like everyone had fun, and didn't worry about being competitive. Which was a good thing.
