MerF got the auto-x bug
Hey guys,
Man, I didn't know what I have been missing. I had always wanted to come to an auto-x event but something ALWAYS came up against it. Plus I never imagined the Poopra stood a chance on a course like that.
Boy was I dumb! That was so much fun, I can't wait for the chance to do it again. I think it was all about the number I was drawn...57...the size of my single turbo and the hull number of my ship (which I despise with all of my raw emotions, but it was neat nonetheless). Anyway, for a noob to auto-x, never even seeing an event before, I think I held my own with a best time of 23.530...thereabouts...hoping to see vids or pics or something since I had a dozen people commenting on the sounds my car was making on its way around the track. It's funny, I didn't hear shit except the engine RPMs that I was concentrating on since I kept tapping redline in 2nd and wasn't trying to blow the car up on my first day.
Anyway, thanks to BCC for the awesome put together, looking forward to warmer weather, that wind sucked. But it was worth it, and I'm gonna do it again as soon as I can! (Though not at next weekend's event, I have a wedding to attend to).
I would also like to say that there are few things in the world that will keep you on your toes more than standing as cone attendant on the track...lol...I puckered HARD a couple times when a car would try to make the turn to leave and kinda forget we were standing there in the middle for a second...haha!

How did he do? Everytime he ran I was looking somewhere else and didn't get his numbers. Sure sounded mean as hell, I tell you that much.
