Did all of the USCA cars get garage spots? That is way cool!

Hearing how few showed up makes me even sadder that I couldn't be there. Kind of like RTTA when my car just wasn't quite ready. I sure hope I get a second chance next year for this one!!!

Greg I think you should buy him a Jerico 5 Speed, I think that's the 2nd or 3rd time he's broken that G Force.

That G-Force won't be going back in there...

I think he wants to go to the same trans Mike Maier runs. Just can't remember what the name was.

Andy's Falcon looks like it has the wrong tires on it…

Great looking car - I've been wanting to do one for a while and while there are some things that I would have done differently it looks like a cool ride.

Congratulations to Terry Fair on the win in 2WD3K and to Steve Kepler in the AWD class.

Says the guys from the Great NW. I added a jacket over the top of my hoodie and still had trouble staying warm. That wind really cuts thru the layers.

The last run group of the day had 1 person in it. Its my assumption that everyone else had already either spent their tires and/or themselves and couldnt take anymore. WTG Cheryl Herrick for taking the SOLO track time.

I showed up anyway. Didnt want to miss out on another event. I came out and did my best to help out as a volunteer. But I also live close enough to the track to hear the cars run on a clear evening. It was torture being there without a car watching everyone have fun. The road course looked great.

Jimi mentioned we may get another chance next year. We'll have to do everything we can to keep our cars together for it and then hype it up for more participation to keep them coming back.

I look at the event calendar geared toward our niche hobby and wonder why we have to drive 10 hrs to get to the next closest event. No I can see why. We've got 5 autocross clubs in the DFW area and 2 motorsports tracks. Surely we alone could have filled the event. Perhaps we just needed more time to get the word out. Its only been 4 months since the event announcement. I think there was less time for RTTA and the Power Tour events. Maybe a late September or October event would be better for this area. Who knows... :EmoteClueless:

"Aaron" had Toyos on his car. The Falcon was pretty slick and looked awesome on the track. He's a pretty decent driver as well. Several times you'd see him sideways around a turn trying to get the most out of it. I think his fastest time was 44.XX

I'll second the congrats to Terry. He clinched the fastest time of the weekend in the last session of the day. There wasnt much left of his rear tires when he was done. Seeing him and Ryan Mathews in the DSE Monster Camaro chase each other around was pretty fun. It looked like a modern Mustang vs Camaro battle. They both appeared to be comparatively equipped vehicles.
