We all have our special moments on the track, autoxing, running an enduro or some special motor sports event.

What's yours? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I have two.

My very first autocross. A friend who was an avid autocrosser and a poor law student needed someone to drive behind him so cops couldn't see his expired tabs on his TVR. The autocross was at the Air National Guard site at the Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport. I had a 240Z. What the heck I thought, I wasn't planning to do anything else. We got there and I got goaded into entering. At the end of the day, I had taken 2nd place by .02 seconds in my class. I did 19 more autocrosses that year. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The second was my first track day. A buddy of mine that I used to autocross with and went to SCCA Nationals with had been after me to come out and do a track day. I kept flaking on him but the organization had a policy that you could cancel and reschedule but not cancel and get your money back. So, I finally had to show up to get my moneys worth. He is an instructor so I didn't see much of him but I had a total blast and at the end of the day, he told me that they had been watching me and were promoting me to a higher run group. I was hooked for sure!
