Cool Down Laps

The 2010 SCCA ProSolo series visited the Washington, DC area this past weekend, and as usual, I was there. My not-so-trusty WRX and my codriver Gabe decided to take on ESP as a cohesive team this year, instead of me running ladies class.

I'll post a full writeup later -- obviously, I've been lacking in the "make a blog post" bit lately -- but to make a long story short, it was a carnage-filled weekend for too many folks. Starting with Jay Storm's FSP Impreza during the practice starts on Friday, through McCance's scare with some blown hoses on his WRX on Saturday and then the Kozlak's Solstice GXP going into limp mode on Sunday, I could only pray I might get through the weekend unscathed.

No such luck. As Gabe came off his final run of the heat on Sunday, he found the car stuck in second gear. :(

In the end, I finished in the third and final trophy spot in ESP. The car's at IAG right now for diagnosis, and hopefully repair.

In Like Flynn...

Well, the crush started nearly an hour ago. Yep, the yearly debacle known as the "DC ProSolo Registration" started at approximately 2:55PM Eastern time, and is in full crush right now.

I entered my information into the online registration form, clicking "register" at 2:57PM, by the clock on my work computer. At 3:21, the button was still dimmed with "please wait...". However, I did receive an email confirmation saying I was in.

Considering how few other people have received that confirmation, I'm wondering if my registration went through, or if I was entered into the system manually because I'm a coreworker.

Eh, there's a hockey game tonight. I'm not worried about autocross yet.
