Not sure if you guys saw the Facebook posts from this weekend, but JG and I ran this weekend's SCCA Match Tour event in Cecil, Georgia. I admit, it's been a while since either have us have run a major autocross event. Know what? We had a total ball--saw a bunch of old friends, saw cool cars, and spent the weekend doing, well, car stuff.

Solo Nats, here we come.

And dance we did. Real tires and some more seat time could make things very interesting.

A singing tire is a happy tire.

Tire wear was actually very, very good. That site isn't super-grippy, so there's a bit of sliding around.

I worked corner 1 while you guys ran. I think you put down about half the total rubber deposited by all the other cars combined for the weekend. So thank you for the extra grip between days 1 and 2.

Way to dance with the elephant--I have much love for autocrossing big cars. I ran a Supercoupe at Dixie in 2008, and a CTS-V in 2009.

We were both having transmission "issues," too. Around town, that eight-speed automatic is fine. When autocrossing, though, it liked to downshift into first. Ideally, we wanted it in second the entire time. (We were launching in second, too.)

You'll need to log in to post.
