[Wichita-SCCA] Autocross in February

[Kevin Anderson]

I'm sitting here in Dallas reading about everyones projects and solo withdrawls.  And I have to say I managed to get a little speed fix this evening.  
   
  I went to this place; http://www.speedzone.com/dallas/racing.html#1 and drove the dragsters (0-70mph in 3.5 seconds) and the Grand Prix cars, which was pretty much like autocrossing.  One timed lap at a time on a small road course that would make a very good solo course if you stretched it out and increased the radius of the turns.  I don't know what the track record is, but I asked the kid operating the Grand Prix what would be considered a fast time, he asked if I had ever driven there before, I said no (which is true) then he didn't believe me when I beat his answer by 1.6 seconds on my very first lap. It was pretty fun.  I got faster on every lap and my co-workers were jealous that they couldn't keep up.  
   
  Anyway, that was a good time, since I haven't had any driving fun since early November.  It was made even more fun after spending two days trying to stay awake in a boring software class.
   
  As far as car projects; I haven't done a thing to my Miata, but I'm looking forward to the first solo.  Lately it has been running like it needs new plugs and wires or something, which is a high wear item on Miata's.  Guess I better at least do that much so I don't sputter around the course come 3/11.
   
  Well I better get back to enjoying the nice Texas weather while I still can; I hear I will be greeted back home Friday with freezing drizzle.
   
  Yeehaw!
