Solo Nationals.... A brief summary and some vids
All in all a pretty good year. I won about everything I could have, despite some serious competition, some way to close moments thanks to drying conditions and various other things that happen in life.
I managed to come home with my 6th National Championship. 3rd in F-stock in the Shelby, and 3 in ESP in f-bodies. I won my .070, which is my second closest finish (won my .029 in 2002 and .090 in 2004). When it rains, then dries, and you run before you competition--you feel like everyone is taking pot-shots at you, and I'm sure I had 5 years cut off my life that day. The good news is had I not won, a Strano Performance setup car would have!!!!
Here are my two best runs from Nationals. East course was my 1st run and dry. West course was my 3rd run (the driest) and if you are paying attention you'll notice the front end slid away on me once.

I also came home with year-end championships for ProSolo. Both F-stock class champion, and as the Overall Champion for the series, something I've never managed to do (the overall). And what is widely regarded as the hardest thing to do in autocross since it takes not just speed, but speed without mistakes, and speed all year long.
Here are my two fastest run from each course on Sunday that locked up the class championship. Sorry, don't have the Challenge runs that locked up the Overall.....
