brag thread!

I very quick search didn't turn up anything, so I'll start a "brag thread".

Local (Sports Car Club of Vermont) autocross today - we use a very modified SCCA classing structure which winds up similar to BMWCCA autocross classing.

I took 1st in class, and 10th out of 52 overall on raw times (no PAX adjustments). My best overall finish yet!

And, to show that things don't always go the way you want them to, I just got back from my first visit to a track I've run on last year (Saint Lawrence Motorsports Park)... and I couldn't beat my personal best from last summer. :( I did manage to get close, though. Last summer, I got a 1:02.9, last weekend the best I could manage was a 1:03.0.

But, I get to try again there in a month.

And Paul (pmello) got really close to being the first sub-minute MINI there.

Tracks change in time. The track itself could be slower, especially after all the rain we have had here in the Northeast.
