Finally...my first Auto-X of the year. It was just a test and tune so not much care was given about all out time....and regardless...my fastest time wasn't recorded anyways (It was a work one session, run as many times as you want for the rest of the day format, so the timing van was REAL busy). Regardless, the car did pretty good once I got some heat in to the rear tires...otherwise it was just all over the place as I couldn't get the rears to warm up for the life of me. Still a lot of fun tho. Like I said...once I did manage some heat in the rears, the car did GREAT...but then the car "Broke" and my day was done.

As far as Ashley...well, she is getting damn fast. Before the start of the season we bought some 17x8 wheels (Stock is 18x7.5) and some 245/40/17 hankook R-S3's for her car (225/40/18 is stock). She loved the difference and it showed on course, she was flying! Can't wait to see what the season brings for her and her little Mazdaspeed 3.

And here is by "Blooper" reel essentially. Please not that most of the clicking you here is the unused harnesses hitting the rollbar/seats. Watch in HD.

A few years ago I had a small battery leak...well, that caught up to me this weekend as the bolts on the battery box broke and ended my day early (Just as I was getting in to the thick of things). Oh well! First points even later this month.

Here are the rest of the pictures we took (Note: There were more cars then we got pics of, it was also a picture "test and tune" for us as well)

How much faster was your sho than her mazda?

With her driving, 2 Seconds. With me driving, 1.5 Seconds.

However, I had to quit early in the SHO because of the battery Box issues. The car SHO easily had another .5 in it when the tires started coming on, certainly more with a better driver.
