4th in a row...
... with a big thank you to Gary in SoFL.
Kind of a funny story...
The AX Championship is determined by adding the points obtained by a competitor in a particular year.
But, in order to opt for a PCA Autocross Championship a person must have participated in at least 4 events in that year.
In the beginning of the year I participated in the first 3 events, all of which I won, but because of my broken engine I had missed the next 3.
The last event was in late October and my car was still in a comma.
So, I called Gary in SoFL and asked him if I could borrow his pristine 2003 Boxster next Sunday.
He said; : "Sure, no problem, what do you need it for?"
And I replied: "I just have to go to the Autocross track and run my last event in order to get my Championship.
".
He just started stuttering and couldn't get a word out.
I finally convinced him that I would not mistreat his baby and he finally agreed to meet me at the event.
I asked the AX Chair to let me run first and told him that I'd only be doing one run (out of a possible 10), because all I needed was to have one official run. He agreed.
Gary even walked by his car right to the start line.
As I donned my helmet I said: "Don't worry Gary,I'm going to set a track record!"
His eyes widened, and he tried to mutter something but there was nothing he could do.
I got the green and let the clutch out.
I carefully steered my way around the course and was able to make a clean run without touching any cones.
And, as I had promised Gary, I set a new track record for the year!
The winning time that day was 49 seconds and the next to the worst was 73 seconds.
I ran my lap in 117 seconds. ;)
