The autocross was WINDY! It was not a problem inside the car, but it made it hard to talk or walk around. There were times the wind was blowing and we all lean into the wind, and the the wind would stop for a second, and we all almost fall down. It takes a fast step to stay upright. It was nice and warm at least. We had a Aston Martin Vantage V12 with the tag of Skyfall. Really pretty car, that sound like a F1 car of old.
And a 2021 911 Turbo S. It just leapt of the start line. Another guy had a 2018 911 Turbo with lots of add on parts and a claimed 850 HP and a 9.8 second 1/4 mile time. Another guy had a gorgeous 69 Camaro SS that was all restomodded. He won the one of the Goodguys contest where they run several drag strips, and then drive to another one and do another drag race, and a road race track. He had a LS7 with 770 HP claimed. The paint job alone was 30 grand.
For a change I did not have the oldest car there. One guy brought his wife, and they both ran "her car" a 1972 Datsun 210. It was as stock as the Camaro. Well not quite. It too had all new suspension, brakes, and a engine from a 240 Z. He did all the work himself and it was nice. Not show car perfect 100 points but dang nice. I asked how many of the kids today even know what it is. He laughed and said one teenager came over to him at a gas station and asked if it was a Shelby. Carol Shelby likely rolled over in his grave with that comment.
