    I had another great weekend of autocrossing the maverick!!!

    I had practice yesterday and champ series today.

    I took 4th out of 15 cars today!!! Im very happy with that.

    Heres my winning run


    Heres my first run of today. There is a hair pin turn that I went into way to hot and ended up going out the back door of the turn!!!


    Heres one of my better practice runs.

    Nicely done! I am certain that is nowhere near the easy you made it look.

    I get dizzy just watching, I tried auto crossing once with a Lightning and went through the course totally the wrong way but this was in a very small parking lot with the cones for going one way right next to the cones for going the other way.

    Nice to see the enjoyment that you get out of the car, I dont remember if you have ever tried the Silver State 100 I know Mo did. Speaking of Mo whats he up to ?

    Yes im still running the varishocks. I plan on using ridtechs on my comet build. They react faster.

    I have not ran Silver State yet. Its on my bucket list but I dont see doing it in the foreseeable future.

    Mo now lives in Portland. I visited him a few months ago. Hes really happy there. He doesn't have a car at all anymore.

    Are they double adjustables? My rears are set up at 7 and 9 clicks (somewhat of a 60/40) but the shock is pretty darn hard to move up and down. What are yours set up front and rears?

    Good job! Driving technique, cornering lines and throttle modulation skilz are progressing nicely, Bryant.
