The end is in sight!

We are almost done with Greg's 9th and my 8th One Lap! We are still talking to each other, although we do still have to make it through the day, the car is in one piece, we had no DNF's, and we are more than likely going to finish 2nd in class. All in all not a bad week. Our worst finish was 33rd and best 18th, although we don't have the results from the Autocross, which I am hoping might give us a better result.

Greg drove the two road course events and I did the autocross at BeaveRun. Greg did a great job running consistently and keeping the car shiny side up on this track, which he had not driven since 2003. We lost to our rivals in the other GTI on the first event, but then Greg found the right pedal and beat them on the second. So it was a wash except for the autocross, which is an unknown at this time. I drove the autocross and I think my past experience autocrossing really helped me out. At least I knew which way to go and how to read the cones. For the uninitiated it is very easy to get lost in the sea of cones! I heard there were 20 DNF's!! Ouch!

This was one of the funnest One Laps I have competed in, mostly because of the great and friendly rivalry we had all week with our competitors in class. Reg (AKA Wedgie) and Bill (AKA Bunwin) are great guys and can be very entertaining. They were a bit disappointed when we showed up in the same class as them, but soon realized they could beat us and the fight was on!!

Joe and David in the Miata also quickly made their presence felt and made sure we knew they were going to put up a great fight! Their car handles great and they put the smack down on the class in many events.
