2013 Nationals Challenge

Idea submitted by Tom O'Gorman, our newest G-Fab member:
  1. All interested participants place names in a hat at the Pro banquet
  2. Each person draws a name
  3. Monday is used to acquire an outfit for the person whose name you drew
    1. Said outfit must be purchased within a budget (TBD)
    2. Said outfit must be appropriate - nothing indecent
  4. The outfit must be worn from arrival on site till departure off-site for the day, on the person's first non-competition day. 
DISCUSS.

A-Stock Adventures

I've been dabbling in AS. Yep, that's my name on that car. Guess which one is me.

It's fantastic. I like Corvettes. Of course, I could probably do better if perhaps I learned that 350 hp is ok to have, and I learned how to trust the car (and myself).

My impromptu driving buddy, Tom, has seriously opened up a can of whoop-ass in this car. James could win L2 with his "shitty times" so it's really me who is holding down DFL, which has been christened GangBang. 

I managed a 7th place finish in L2 at the Jersey Pro (4th in class though, L3 bumped to L2), and it was like 40 degrees out, and windy, and damp, and sucky for weather. I think I'm getting the hang of it, so perhaps in DC I won't suck as much. I won't suck, but I'll be exhausted - I'm roadtripping with my sister-in-law to get her new MiniCooper in Kansas City, and we're driving through the night to get to DC in time for practice. 

Fingers crossed I remember how to drive it.
