Thanks for the compliments Shihab and Mike.
That race actually meant a lot to me. Wasn't easy to beat RX7 Hector, but I finally managed to do it :-) AND IN THE RAIN ! :-) The M coupe is a beast in the rain, extremely hard to tame. But once you have it tamed, it is an AWESOME car to drive. And thank goodness I had "new" Kumhos in the back, with some tread on them, otherwise it woulda been a lot harder.
As far as Sandbagging is concerned, I made SURE it didn't happen. I talked to Renee about it, and Mike Z. was watching as well.

Hopefully I'll see you all at the next event.

I am glad that you got first in ASP Karl..
At least there was a stop for the Sandbagger!!!
The M coupe was sticking well, even with the Kumhos....((well, Kumhos are superior in the wet compared with the Hoosiers..))
And Mike,
it was good to see you again, I didn't see you at the last event... Guess that you gave us the autocross disease making my symptoms severe such that I bought a second car for playing around with....
As for me,
I managed to get a best of 67.xxx in the rain, and a 60.xxx in the dry.... Just learning on my new toy...
Oh,
By the way,
The car is a 1985 Corolla GT-S, rear wheel drive... "Drift Machine"
I can not drive the M coupe in the rain, rear tires are as smooth as slick tires, meaning that I would crash halfway to the race if I drove it in the wet..!!!
Next time, I am bringing the coupe.... hopefully with the RD rear bar....
Till then, the GTS is going to serve its duty as my car...
