1) 2 Days of Autoslalom + Fathers Day weekend = extreme leniency from the wife (woohoo, no arguements)
2) A case of Sobe Iced Tea, courtesy of HADA, STLAC, WOSCA will taste great at the next event.
3) Crushwashers can be modified to carry 3 cases of beer cargo
4) 8 Runs on Saturday 6 runs on Sunday + Brontosaurus ribs = instant "itis"
5) Best course design ever in 5 years on Sunday results in some pucker factor to get fast times.
6) RA-1's can last over 2 years, 2 seasons + lapping days + 1 CSCS event, and still have enough meet to finish this season. Hummmmm
7) Weasels come in all shapes and sizes
8) Is my muffler crooked = slight understatement (eh Doug)
9) Youthful exhuberance made for a pleasant competion environment
10) Maddogs folding chair is shaped for "real men".. LOL
11) 2 Brothers + Bags of Ice = Fast Scirocco (thanks for the competition dudes)
12) Locking up all 4's avoids CSI style crimson splatters from appearing all over the windshield.. LOL (posted for P90Puma).. LOL

Joe, nothing about locking up all 4 wheels towards a marshal trying to fix a cone so you don't need a rerun? :cool:

1. Allseasons still suck.
2. Woohoo only hit one cone all day vs the usual 3-5+
3. Ferrari Enzo's look amazing on the way back from the COMP event.
4. Events with almost no passenger laps can be fun too!

1) 375 HP + 3400 lbs car + 3 year old BFG KDWs street tires = uncompetitive SLOW ESP car :mad:
Send donations! :D
2) JoeT's skill didn't rub off on my chair.
3) Joe & Doug have something "special" going on.

1) 3200Lbs car, 130HP crank, and stock struts in FSS can be fun
2) My car only needs 3 wheels about 50% of the time
3) Sharing is fantastic - grow yourself, and you see others grow too!
4) Seeing corvettes being driven like they should is excellent!
5) Sticking around for a drivers meeting gives you an excellent chance of winning a prize - Thanks COMP
6) Pictures from the event show certain Civic SiR's have enough suspension travel for rally
7) Autoslalom guys are the friendliest, most relaxed guys in the sport
8) Sooo many runs, Sooo much adrenaline, so few cones=very little delay
9) Driver Training works, open eyes, open ears


Thanks COMP and HADA for a wonderful, well organized weekend!

I love the nose dive that the certain SiR has! I could swear there were tire mounted on those rims, but they seem to disappear up into the wheel well under braking...... The amount of weight transfer rear to front is amazing.... No wonder that driver sucks so much!

Yes, this year is MUCH more laid back and relaxed. I will refrain from commenting further.......:) Banter is fun, bulls**t isn't!

2 days and 14 runs in the heat can be exhausting. :D

Anyone want to see what 1 pooched Hoosier looks like?

1) Joe should quit competing and just do commentary...
2)You shouldn't expect plenty of cold water at every event but its a nice touch... Especially with the heat over the weekend!
3) You really shouldn't show up to an anti-street racing event and try to drag race your two dumb pals, try to run over a competitor, and have left me your business card the day before because you'll give me a deal on your detailing service...:D Who should I PM the contact info for this tool too...

Nothing can hold a candle to Woodstock. Driving through the barricades and doing donuts in the middle of the course at the hight of course walking is just one of the better ones. He eventually collect enough cones that the car got stuck. When he got out he was thoroughly confused as to why the 10 guys that held him to the ground were mad. Another time somebody did a donut in a spectator area, then peeled out and off down the road. Several particpants managed to get to the road and get his plate. The local police paid him a visit to pass along our appreciation. There are several other similar stories. We called the cops at least 4 times to deal with spectators at that lot.

I remember reading the rationale that Toyota used about why they chose Woodstock. They mentioned something about the Quality of Educated Workers in Ontario. Less training investment required to get the job done right, this is comparing Woodstock to Alabama.

Now after reading what Marsh wrote.. I'm thinking Woodstock shares more with Alabama than is publicly know with Toyota.. LOL Bwahahahahaha

Yup, everyone likes to show us autocrossers how cool they are!

Remember the guy who went by Woodstock on a bike in triple digit speeds on one wheel until we couldn't see him...?


Joe, I had to help train dozens of guys who were going to be working in the plant in Alabama that now builds Odysseys and Pilots... and... I have no further official comment to your post!
