Whooo Hoooo, fun autocross and great turnout. Everthing from my old 85 911 to two cars that ran the one lap of America and one is a notional SCCA champ in his class. One car, a Mazda MX4 with a LS transplant and Hoosiers set FTD. But broke after 3 laps. One C5 Corvette was supercharged and did real well. Almost all the cars were from 2000 and newer except me. One Audi had paper tags and he bought it just a few weeks ago.

I had fun and that is truly all I care about. It did get to 90 degrees. My oil temp never got to 210. Just 200 or 205. Amazing to sit at idle and have cool engine temps. When I got home I was wondering if the gauge was lying. I checked the oil filter, front oil cooler and various spots on the engine. Nothing about 200 and that is what the gauge showed. The AC was cold and wonderful for the ride home.

That 911 has to be the best toy ever. I can flog it through over 120 autocrosses, several track days, drive it all over the country and even into Canada and it is worth over double what I paid for it.

Several guys approached me and said it was fun to watch me run that old car through the course and see my elbows out trying to steer through the turns. Dang it is fun.
