Alright, I guess I haven’t been here in a while, so I have lots of updates.

May 11th – FLR event 2
I drove my friend Brian’s Fmod for this event; it was my second time in the car. Its an amazing machine but totally crazy. I ended up finishing second behind Brian, beating a solo vee and the other red devil because he never had a fast clean run. Results. Pictures.






May 18th – WNY event 2
What a horrible day for autocross – it rained all day long and was freezing cold. I drove my friend Dave’s type r. We started on r comps but switched to street tires after the first heat because the r comps were worthless in the rain. Still had a lot of fun though, and that car is definitely awesome. Results.




May 25th – FLR event 3
Seneca Army Depot finally! 70s and sunny – perfect autocross weather. Brian and I used my bug for this event which was definitely a mistake. The course was fast and open and would have been perfect for the fmod, but we had no tow vehicle. Again the car did horrible, and we came to the conclusion that the tires are too much for the car. The 225s are great for cornering, but the car just can’t ever pick up any speed with them. I’ll probably end up selling them to my friend and buying 215s again. I ended up beating Brian, but we were both beat by the focus that I used to be able to easily beat last year with the 215s. Results. Pics.

June 1st – WNY event 3
Seneca again! A little chilly and overcast, but the rain held off until we were finished. Brian and I learned from our experience the previous week and made sure we brought the fmod. 3rd time in the car and I almost beat him at the end of the first heat. My second run was .24 behind his second run which made him a little nervous, but he figured he caught me on the third by dropping two seconds, but I answered right back and ended up .28 behind him. Unfortunately that ended up being my best run of the day because at the beginning of the second heat I decided to have some fun in the weeds and almost killed a course worker. Luckily I didn’t break the car, but that kept me more conservative for the rest of the second heat. Brian ended up figuring something out, and dropping another two seconds on his third to last run. We finished 1st and 2nd in FM beating the other red devil and solo vee, and ended up 1st and 4th in pax.
Results.





Next up is an open testing day at a track and a few more events at Seneca before the Prosolo July 25th – 27th (be there!). Hopefully Brian and I can win some tires for the fmod.

Ciao until the next time I remember to type up some updates.
