The SFR auto-x yesterday was pretty dope, even though the track surface at GGF sucks @ss. The mustang did a lot better than I thought she would, I think I was in the upper half of the Street Modified field out of like 10-12 cars. Some of the Street Mod cars in SFR region are *ridiculous*, a couple of them were trailered to the event. The parking lot was really old asphalt that was gouged in places, had lots of bumps and had loose asphalt marbles *everywhere*... they took a blower to the track before the start to try and clean it off and within 5 cars going out you could see the marble build-up offline in all the corners. The rule of the day was stay on-line, hehe. I was fighting for traction in general (I could barely give it half-throttle all the way through 1st gear at the start, the tires were just spinning) but I never even felt the bad pavement or bumps... I love the new coil-over suspension. :mrgreen: I took some pictures of the dope cars that were there, including some of the STi-ed WRX's just for you guys. :lol:

Unfortunately I ran out of memory on the camera pretty early on so I couldn't get any other pics, there were other good photo ops too.

Seriously, I want one to go across the trunk on the rear... "ATOMIC LAB MONKEY" with the 12 monkeys in the background and two radiation-warning symbols on either side. :lol: :lol: That would be awesome... make one up and I can print it out on an 11x17, laminate it onto magnetic sheet and stick it on the back of the car for events. :twisted: That way everyone behind me on grid can see my monkey, hehe.
