[GH85Carrera]

Phew, the first autocross of the year is done.

It was 40 degrees and overcast when we statred, and 46 and overcast when we finished. It was 71 and sunny yesterday. Ah well.

It was a complex course and I had several DNFs, but we decided to run 10 runs per car, so I had more clean runs than DNFs. Overall I beat the times of most of the drivers. The top fastest group were in whatever a BRZ is (Subaru) and they were driving like it was a championship for money or something. One of them managed to slide off the track into a curb, and break one wheel, bend an A-arm, and tear up the spoiler and bumper. We won a fun trip on a wrecker and his expense and the scorn of the club. One event like that and he is done for the year with us. We do not want the property torn up. It did not hurt the curb, but it did mess up some grass. He was driving like an idiot, and he will have to live with it. We discourage the "Fast and Furious" driving.

The facility is the Edmond Fire training facility. They have one area with wrecked cars, school buses, tanker trucks and they teach the guys how to use the jaws of life to cut up cars to extract people. They have several burn buildings. They even have one small "city street" with the building that are mostly a facade to look like a town.
