NEWS FLASH - Autocross Results

Autocross results are in. Rafael did better than very good. He kicked some ass. He finished 6th overall for the event. With the demise of the number six Mitty (see previous post) and Rafael's awesome autocross skills, we have jumped to 17th from 20th overall. Not sure where we are in class, but we were 15th last evening in a field of 25 cars. Not bad for a car with no GT, R, or Z in its badge.

Neil and Woody are still in a fight for their class, but currently lead by 15 points over the super-charged Miata. They have also moved up to 25th overall.

GO CAPS!!!!!!!
