Sorry to report, but the the next autocross event planned for feb 24th in Marina, California has been cancelled. I'll let everyone know when the next event will happen. There was a lawsuit filed by a BMW club member who was injured at an event, so there is going to be an extra waver for everyone to sign as we get to the front gate. There hopefully will be an event next month, but I'll keep everyone informed for upcoming events.

I know. I'm probably being over optimistic, as usual. I think that Bob wants to win the season so it would largely depend on who shows up as to what tires that he uses. We're not to much of a threat, points wise, to him. And Joe should probably just stay on the R specs. In any event, (Bold statement to follow) I think that I can get close to Bobs times, with me running on street tires and him on R's. All of my improvement has just been me, I haven't done anything to the car. And it is weak. Lol. Hopefully, before, the next event, I'll have time to install some of the new parts that I have. That and stickier street tires and we'll be close. Close enough for me anyways. It's all just for fun and I like having someone to chase. I forgot to mention, there was a Boss 302 at the last event with the driver fresh out of "racing school". He, kind of, turned his nose up at my car so I didn't mention to him that he might want to lose the Pirrelli's that were on his car. Lol. He's running times slightly HIGHER than Joe. Hehe...

Ha! Serves that Boss right. We all drive mustangs, its too bad some people are insecure and dog lesser mustangs out. And he just did a racing school huh? Sounds like he should ask for his money back. Those Bosses should destroy us with a half decent driver.

Ok guys. The next event is this Sunday, Sept 8. It really snuck up on me.
I didn't have time to do anything to my car so it will still be in stock, worn out form. Although, I may throw the new sway bar bushings in tomorrow.
I met another local Bullitt owner (black) and he may show up. Maybe. We all know how that goes...
The season is winding down... I hope you guys can make it.

Be there or be square... :thumb:

We are all on street tires today.
I'll see how it goes...

Well that didn't go so well. Im pretty sure that I ended up dead last in ESP. Lol. I closed the gap between Bob and I, but, Joe pulled off a half second better time than I did. Neither Bob nor I felt like we brought our "A" game today. Joe did tremendous. You should have seen how happy he was. Im extremely pleased that he is doing so good. He seems to be better on street tires, so, I'm going to start suggesting that he goes back to the R's. Lol.
I changed my sway bar bushings and the car felt pretty good, but, the driver seems to be having some difficulty.
Back to the drawing board

I'm shocked Joe did so well! Like you said, I'm happy he's improving. I saw the Facebook post stating that they designed a fast course to satisfy us heavier cars, did it seem like a fast course to you?

Good question.

I remember standing in the pit, afterwards, not really sure how I felt about that course.
I wasnt having a great day though...

Im going to say no.
There wasn't any "long" straightaway and there were two, not that easy, slaloms.

What a difference tires make...

A new set of Dunlop Direzza Zll's and I'm knocking on the back door of the points leader in ESP. I finished almost exactly one second behind Bob...:dance:
Dennis put together a very nice track for this event!
It was an AWESOME day!!!!!!
An excellent showing of Mustangs, both old and new. There were two beautiful first generation 'Stangs. A coupe and a fastback. The coupe is owned by Mike Maier of Maier Racing. The car is Badass. He was, consistently, running high 48 second laps. By comparison, my best lap was a 54.7
And the Boss 302 was back. He struggled again, but, there is definite signs of improvement. He seemed much more humble than the first time that he was there. :lol:
That's the initiation into autocross. Check your ego at the gate...
There was a couple of New Edges that I have never seen before. Not sure how they did..
The times that were posted looked very disorganized to me, so, I'm not 100% sure where I placed. I'll have to wait for the official results, but I'm very pleased with my performance at this event.

We're going to have all of the West Coast Mustang Evolution Bullitts there.
All of the active users anyway...:lol:
I wish that I could figure out a way to get 2300turboford here...

I'm really looking forward to this!!!

I've got a mount for my phone i can use, i used it inside my car before but its a paint to get a good angle, the only good angle blocks my view. I might try outside the car this time. I'll just make sure i have my lifeproof case on.

So there might be four 01 Bullitts there? That has to be a rare sight.

Sweet! I'll have my Go pro to record my runs. I've heard those cases are indestructible! ESP will be invaded by Bullitts!
