Slow Roller Racing Team member Lee Fox, fired up and ready to go…

Was planning on posting this last weekend after the second BSCC autocross of the season, but evil gremlins (minions?) attacked my machine and I lost the original post, ah well…

Overall, great autocross in dry, most clear and quite warm weather (lots of cases of sunburn this day) and the boys from BSCC really did up a challenging course, a slight mod of the course they ran on Saturday for the annual gathering of the Midwest Subaru clubs (“Scubapalooza”).  In fact, the course was so challenging, I DNF’d on FOUR of my six runs…got through the first part of the course and the first loop okay, but when it was time to locate the initial gate for the second loop, mass confusion, gnashing of teeth, wailing in the cockpit and I darned near bit through my cigar.  Frustrating, to put it mildly and from looking at the results (posted by Racer Steve last night), I wasn’t the only one who had problems.

Still enjoyed the day, which – with the HSD down for starter/flywheel/clutch replacement – marked my first ever autocross in a vehicle with an automatic transmission and second attempt with a front-wheel-drive vehicle (my first attempt was back in late ’77 at Bronson Field outside of Pensacola, with my ’78 VW Scirocco. Only trophy I’ve ever won…).

The next autocross is on Saturday 30 July, we’ll all turn out and try it again!
