Ok well if you were like some of the AutoCross regulars that did not make the treck to Pleasanton you missed some good AutoCross racing.
We did have rain most of Saturday but we did get it dry and ran from 3:30pm until 5:30pm as we wanted to give the guys that stuck it out with us some runs.

Sunday was rain free and we were able to run from 9:00am until 2:00pm and had a great crowd and some really fast runs.

The track was changed to the place we run in November and we flipped the pits to the other sideand had a great track layout with trees and plentay of runoff.

Mike Maier and his wife Brianne put on a show both Saturday and Sunday but Brian Hobargh was the fastest time of the weekend getting into the 27 second run.

Here are the results,

Hats off to Ed and the goodguys staff. Saturday morning was plain ugly, but the few that toughed it out were hanging around the autocross area. At around noon, the call was for clearing around 3pm. Ed had the gardeners ready with blowers and brooms, and starting around 2:30, we wer're all chipping in to dry the track. I get the GoodGuys ruling about no runs on a wet track, it's just too risky. Everytime we had it dry, the rain would let go far a minute or too, and we'd start over. When everyone was about to through in the towel, Ed says "hey, I'll stay here and run 'till dark if we get it dried off". With a renewed spirit we worked for a while more, and a bit before 4:pm we started to make some runs. The weather held out, and with only 9 or 10 cars left in the pits, we made plenty of runs. At 5:45, the EMT staff had to leave, and Ed was forced to shut it down. (I do believe he would have stayed there until sunset) Sunday morning was more of the same, but once we got the track dry, we got plenty of runs. Ed and his crew really did everything they could to make it happen, and even with the rain, we had a great time.

Impressive Ed, and marks to you.

Sorry I missed this event as it sounds like you guys beat the rain.

Congrates to Rob and NoLimits, that is one bad azz truck.... a 28.6 and what ? the Maier and Hobargh had numbers just at 28.1 and 27.7. Wow that is close.

I would like to say thanks to all mthe racers that helped dry the track also as I got blisters from the brooms and woke up sore from all the pushing of water that we did and I am sure some of you did also.

Yes Rob I would of stayed until dark to see you guys get in some runs as we all had stuck it out and dried it many times on Saturday.

Again, Hats off to the participants that stayed and ran both Saturday and Sunday.
