DC National TOur, May 29 & 30th, anyone else going? Options

I had a great time at the Tour this weekend too. I'm sort of a comeback autocrosser at the this point and didn't expect to place well (and didn't), but I learned a bunch from the seat time on a big course (both driving and car setup) and am looking forward to future big events like this one. I'm planning on attending the Philly Divisional, though I'm planning to just spectate the Pro next weekend.

35th_Anniversary_AS_Camaro_SS, I wanted to meet you but somehow I never saw you with your car, except when you were running (when I didn't want to bother you). I'll catch up with you at the next big event.

What amazes me is that Strano would have placed 2nd in SS and 1st in AS.

He beat all the street prepared classes except CSP and BSP (would have been 2nd in both), beat all prepared classes except FP (would have been 2nd), would have placed 3rd in SM and 2nd in SM2......................

Looks like he would have PAX'd 6th overall. That's some friggin' driving... Don't let anyone ever say an F-Body can't run with the other cars... (it's ok to whisper under your breath... "if Sam's driving" (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )

Great driving Sam...!

I had a great time this weekend coming in roughly mid-pack. More importantly, I realized how important it is to get to big events. Somehow, you could run bazillions of local events, but it doesn't necessarily translate to being able to "ramp-up" your speed to the level necessary for the longer courses typical of the big events.

Of course, what can't be beat is that great F-Stock bonding :-)

See ya at the NE Divisionals!

Rich,

As much as I love my car I tend to not hover around it much. Even when I was running I would get out and talk to the other AS guys some, but mostly hung out with the FS guys. If you came up and said hi when I was in between runs it would have been more than acceptable.

Steve,
I think Sam's major motivation was beating the Kozlaks in the Porsche (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Mark,
I tried to register for Toledo online, it wouldn't let me register. If you can get us in i'll get some Hoosiers. Maybe Sammy's got some pull? I think we should do Toledo (if we can), Peru & Topeka (why not?) =) I also agree it was great to hang out with all the f-body guys, even the former ones (Kozlaks & Bruce Bellom)
