Title: Wet Autocross

Started the season off in the wet.  Leaving the Hoosiers on was probably not the best choice.  LOL

It may have been wet, but looks like fun, just the same. Nice looking Europa and I really like the Revolution wheels.

It certainly looks like you were the class of the field! How did you do?

Ended up being 1st in class and 4th overall, though considering the slicks were not the best choice, I feel pretty good about it.  Best time of the day was a built Evo with rain tires (all wheel drive pays off in the wet).

Excellent, now that is a great performance.

It's always good to see an old Lotus winning their class and your overall result isn't too shabby when you're up against modern cars, so well done that man !

Congratulations! That really is good! I'll bet when you're on the right tires, you'll be dangerous! Keep us posted about your exploits!

Thank you!  :)  I do take particular pride in being so competitive in a 42 year old car.
