Day 1 Concours and Autox

So we woke up early Friday morning, and we towed the car to the track. Christy snapped some pictures of us going to get the car through tech inspection.




After the car passed Tech, we cleaned it up and went to get in line for the concourse portion of the event. We wanted to do it first before we got the car too dirty from racing it.

Once it was all said and done we placed 13th out of 54 entrants in the concourse.
Out of 25 points in each category we had:

judge 1
19 interior

21 exterior

20 engine

20 overall

judge 4

We are super happy with our score, and we know exactly where we can improve next year.

Back at the pits we were getting ready for the autocross. We topped off all fluids and checked tire pressures.








After 5 runs, our best autocross time was a 43.91 second time which placed us in 17th place. We had issues with not having enough grip in the rear tires. I think it was because we removed so much weight the car would not plant it self well. With more time and some more testing i think we could have definitely gone faster. We also were running less boost than last year, so that is also something we can remedy for 2009.
