Looks like the best fit, seeing as the Exige is less then 3liters (although supercharged in this case).

Great course design. Really ideal for that site.
Wow Drew! Way to go! 2nd fastest time of the day in a Mustang on street tires. Am I dreaming?
Time to trade in the Coxster for a Mustang.

BTW, are the official results actually going to say Porsche "Coxster" all year?

The results should say whatever you entered into myauotevents.

I have no idea how those car names got there. I believe the entry list was hacked!!! I am beefing up security to ensure that it doesn't happen again.

OK, do I have a second for this motion? Exige getting moved to C based on tires equipped.

I won't bother changing the results, but I will change the season points standings.

Sounds right to me.

At your leisure, kind sir... please correct the aftermath of our most unfortunate hacking. And while you're in there, might as well go ahead and put this car in its correct class.

OK, I will wait a week or so to see if any other changes come in before resubmitting the results.

I have one other requested change. Moving Charles Olcott's 240z from C to A based on non production class modifications.

But, you're so good at it!

Great event. I'm so happy to have tires again. My car is actually drivable! I was so excited after my first run that I was about to explode! The difference between severely bald Kumho Ecsta MX and brand new Dunlop Z1 Star Spec is even greater than you would imagine.

It was great to compete so closely with Mark Jones and Farzad in E1 - all three of us separated by .1 of a second.

And how is it that damn near all of us got beat by a 1987 Mustang? It's humiliating! Damn, Drew, you are an awesome driver! I think you got most everything out of that car.

It was also super cool to run and work in heat 1 and 2. I've never enjoyed that benefit before.

SCCA allows any OE tire in stock class, also allows r comps, basically any dot legal tire that meets minimum numbers for sizes available

Why am I brain dead? I knew that. I was thinking ST, I guess.

Still, for our purposes, 60 treadwear has no business in our 140 treadwear classes.

It was really mostly the shirt.

I mean, if you come to an autocross without a bitchin' hawaiian shirt, can you really expect to have a good day? It's all about the mojo, brah. Yellow_Colorz_PDT_08


Props to Bob for FTD. And to Jeremy, for best spin of the day.
Awesome course Loren, as always really.

Wait, I take that back. Don't want that dependent on any alternate definition of Coxster.

I was informed today that Evan Warner's times did not show up in the results. The times are in the computer though and I verified that he in fact won E3, so the points table will be modified to reflect that. Sorry everyone in E3, you will be moving down 1 spot.
