2017 College Solo AutoX - September 24th

[Senor_Taylor]

Great job everyone! We had a fantastic turnout by the younger MM'ers! I believe we had 10-15 of us all 2013 grads or younger! Unfortunately, we lost to Tech by about a tenth of a second in Pax, but we all had fun! We had lots of novices out there absolutely killing it!

I had the pleasure of co-driving Jackson's M50 swapped E30 325is and it was one of the most fun events I've ever done. Usually I can be top 30 in PAX and still be dead last in ES behind the Miata guys who race every single weekend. The e30 was in SM and I was actually posed to take first place except for a cone penalty. Also driving something with more power and more weight made me realize that heat seriously affects tires. My second run after Jackson and I lit up the tires back to back was a slippery mess! This is also my first time driving anything close to being prepared as the this car had a suspension. Every other car I've driven has been on terrible brakes and factory 20 year old suspension. Really made my realize how far I've come as a driver! I had a lot of fun and I'm really proud of all of the new guys who came out and were fearless. Excited to see what these guys do this year!
