And damn happy to be there, too!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

In watching the times the previous day, I said "If I can pull out a 90, I'll be ecstatic!" I did, and I was.

Note that all three cars placing above me had competition tires, and I was running hard-compound street tires. In addition, Cody Sears is one hell of a good driver, and his car is prepared to the absolute limit of the rules. Mine has 140# rear springs, a 19mm sway bar, and a Bursch muffler. And that's it. Heck, I didn't even bother checking the tire pressures in the past month!

I'm surprised that nobody pointed out that Birgit beat me by 1.2 seconds--in my own car, which she had never driven before that day! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) She would have placed 3rd in the Men's class, beating one of the sticky-tire'd cars in the process. Not bad, huh?

I'll attach a pic of her getting her first-place award from Charlie Davis, the '04 Parade autoX chairman.

PS--I did take 1st in the 914 section of the Tech Quiz, and missed 1st overall by only 2 questions!
