    Default So this is what I did with my weekend.

    Raced my car.





    So basically, the Porsche club of America put on an autocross event near where I lived, and I just HAD to race. And yes, I raced a Volvo station wagon. At a Porsche event. Needless to say, I got quite a few strange looks, and a few people asking me why I was racing it (since I had openly admitted that it's bone stock).

    My fastest time was 69.797, fastest time of the whole day was 51.66-. I was the slowest car out there. But it was fun!

    So, what did you all do this weekend?

    That is awesome. It looks like a ton of fun, who cares that your time was the worst in the field, it's still a gratifying experience. I would race my car, but I would probably explode the clutch or something, the little integra isn't as tough as your swedish steel.

    I enjoyed the time off work, played with the kids, made some progress on a minor home improvement project, and worked on Clockwork. So far, so good, my weekend is only half over.

    I saw the word porche before the pics came and thought cool. But then the pictures loaded. Still would've been fun.
    I hope he had a few beers to blame it on....

    I did an auto x up in Columbus Ga one time once and an Auto X at Road atlanta once. Great times. I was the slowest the first time and at the one in the road atlanta parking lot I was in the middle of the field. Glad you had fun. There is nothing wrong with running what ya brung.

    As for my weekend I spent Saturday at my mothers building her nice brick steps into her new home. The original ones were concrete block and had troweled on stucco and looked like crap. I will go take some photos of them tonight.

    Yesterday I washed my truck, gave my dogs a bath, cut my grandmothers grass, cooked some steak on the grill for a lady friend and myself and then watched a movie with her on the couch. Very productive day.

    That Volvo was probably the safest car at the track, so you've got that going for you.

    I was supposed to go to Birmingham for the Rolex race but completely forgot about it.
    Will
