Won another local autocross

Yesterday I pulled out a win in A/Stock. The first win this year was on a course that was both wet and semi dry, and I flattened the whole field (1st A/S, FTD, and 1st PAX) with my last run in an increasingly less wet course. Yesterday was dry and my second run set the mark for the class that only one S2000 got close to (the consistent winner here by usually wide margins). It may have also been the fastest stock time as well. We will al be there again this coming Sunday, and hopefully I will repeat. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

Glad to hear about your success. Congrats
The S2000 is a fine car and light weight. Nice to see you were able to shut him down.

A couple points of clarifications;

1) I have already been going quicker than the local C4s in A/S, and dispatched ALL of the S2000s this time around!! Still going about it,
2) I changed to the Solo Performance pipe so I could clearly hear the engine. The MagnaFlow is a great system and will go back on after the autocross season ends.

A little side note - it is very interesting to see how two companies created their systems. Both are high quality systems and I can fully recommend both vendors.

Congrats,

Glad to hear everything is working well for you. We had a two day event. I am still waiting on final results but day one I was first, day 2 I was forth and I think I averaged out to 2nd overall for both days against a very capable field. We had a newly converted ZOK GXP present and can tell you that the ZOK package definitely made it faster. S2000 took the overall win. Thanks for the alignment tip Bob, I really think it helped.

L.S., Mo. is an eastern suburb of Kansas City, Mo. The September 2 event is near Kansas Raceway on a crappy lot. However, KCRSCCA is having a two day event the following weekend at Arrowhead Stadium (Chiefs, Royals) on September 8,9. There is a Holiday Inn right across the street. HUGE lot, and smooth, too. PM for details.
