skibigsky's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another autocross. This SO rocks! Heh. Another autocross, and it seems like I'm starting to get myself more organized. Although it sure as hell didn't feel like it today. I felt wild and out of control on my best runs. But I guess that's how it usually is! And.... I beat a girl who has been beating me all season. I actually beat her handily - by close to 2 seconds and was only 1.5 seconds behind the next person 'on my list'. Yeah, I'm competitive. Not in a bitchy, "I want to kick your butt" sort of way, but in a "I measure my own performance by how I do against the people close to me in time" sort of way. So. I think I'm getting better. Today felt wild, and I'm not sure about the new shocks (I think it controls the body roll, but I don't know what to do about the 'pushing' of the car, other than to become a better driver), but I had a ball. As always. And I even managed to drive the MINI to the event and back without incident. Which is a good thing. I love the car, and I love autocross. Oh yeah and since my 'co-driver' (different class, so he's not technically my co-driver) is going to Nationals, I will be racing at Nationals. I'll have my ass handed to me, but I'll race. And more seat time is good! And fun! Heehee! And now it's time to throw some steaks on the grill, as I am hot and sunburned.... 6:04 p.m. - 26 August 2007 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
