Only 3 Seconds Behind a National Champion

Oh so close, and oh so much fun...this is me Auto X'n at El Toro this last weekend in a 2006 Noble M400...56.3sec...about 3 seconds behind one of the fastest drivers around (a National Champion)

Not too bad for only my 5th time AutoX'n.



The frustrating part is I know I could have shaved off at least another second, if not two in one of the last turns into the "tunnel" ARGH! So frustrating...
