Hey guys,
So with some cash in my pocket from my most recent job and with the ambition to be faster and faster on the auto-x I finally splurged on a new set of wheels and tires.

My first time trying them out was at an event at Pocono Raceway in PA. Combine two days of racing with one of your best friends and his cool Miata and you're bound to have a good time.
Walking around the event and sizing up the competition in auto-x is more friendly than in other forms of racing, I'd imagine. The bottom line is always fun at these events, so if you see something cool you snap some pics of it and post it online, right??
How about this rare and awesome 1M with custom-made aero?
When we got off to racing, Alex and I did very well. On the first day we both placed first in our respective classes and I won a trophy for my very first time. In DSP, I was matched up against my buddy Paul and also this black Focus ST that just so happened to be very quick!
At the end of the first day I ended up taking first in class by a couple hundredths of a second, if I remember correctly! It was a close one!
My buddy Alex ended up taking first in the STR class with some magical driving on his part-- it was only his second event!
The second day wasn't so great because Alex and I were severely outmatched. I switched to the TDSP class for street tires because I thought I would be more competitive, and I ended up getting spanked by a WRX.
All in all, we had a great time beating on our cars and being fast as heck!
Until next time, peace out!
