CDC Summit Point Circuit Cross 7/18

[Jake]

Well... I'm home and things are cleaned up now. I had a pretty good time with CDC today. They are definitely more friendly than the DC SCCA guys, in part because they are a smaller group. The Washington Circuit skidpad was uh, rather damp this morning when we arrived. Thanks to the rain, the planned course could not be set, so they had to run a modified course layout that wasn't as technically challenging.

The ├╝ber-fast times were in the 38-39 sec. range. My best was a 42.9, and DJ beat me in his boat of a car with a 42.7...




We were able to each have 3 runs in the morning and 4 in the afternoon. They kept things moving pretty well and we were totally done (cleaned up and all) by 3:45. To make things better, the CDC guys announced that anyone who ran today could go down to the kart track and pay $10 for a karting session after the AX was done. We (of course) had to hit that up. Aside from some drivers not following passing rules and holding everyone up, it was a great track. Nice to run karts outdoors. We got about 10 minutes of karting time for our money there.

All in all, a great day. It was a nice change from the "autocross factory" that is FedEx Field.
