Well, it looks like I'll be watching my kiddo in the morning (wasn't anticipated), and won't be able to make it to this one.
I won't lie, I'm pretty bummed out, as the Miata is finally ready to track, and I was looking forward to pitching it around cones this weekend.
Oh well, there's always next time. Have a good one guys!

Had a great time today and was everything I expected it to be. I ended only being able to participate in the first event because I was under some time constraints due to Mothers Day (was hoping the event would move a little faster). Was disappointed but there is always the next event.
Car did well, other than a heavy right foot and some over steer. I had three goal for today and meet all three.
1. Don't hit a cone
2. Don't spin out
3. Get faster every run
What a blast!!!! Special that to Ecam for taking the time to show me the ropes and to his daughter for the awesome driving tips. I would have never though I would have taken advice from a 16 year old but she was pretty sharp.
Here is a video of my last and fasted run. I think I ended up 8th in my class running against some highly modded cars; STI's, Evo's and TT's. All guys who have are serious about Auto Cross.

Amanda is only 15 and said you did a great job. Good call to leave. With a few delays in heat 1 it lasted longer than my first guess. We left after my work assignment in heat two and made I-70 at 5 p.m! My guess is last heat finished about 6-6:30. L-O-N-G day.

Yeah. That's how I was when my GXL was in ES. So I kinda gave up being "competitive" and had myself get better for myself. I think that is what will happen if/when I autoX the 'vert.
