AutoX was a blast Sunday! Although I was 20 minutes late to my review
sessions. The students understood, I played them the tape!

The incar video turned out really well. I wish I had some way of capturing
it. The guy that owns the camera does so maybe he can cap it for me so I
can post it on a website. Lots of squeal, but the engine sounds pretty
buff too!!!

I kinda lost it on the last lap. Didn't spin but did do a 150 feet worth
of overcorrections trying to get it across the finish line! Didn't hit a
cone during the whole mess, but lost time.

The big tires do help, but it didn't change the lack of concentration in
the driver.

I'd really like to see a bunch of Dakotas out there at California Speedway.
We run in the afternoon. There will be a great caterer setup selling
TriTip steak sandwiches. So come early, watch some heats, have lunch early
and walk the course during the break before the afternoon action. Its
supposed to be a long fast course!

Let me know if you have questions and such. They do loan out helmets.
