Had an amazing weekend at the WCDR event 2 autox. I took 4th in my class. Fastest time 63.668. The course was super fast in most area's, but I still felt as though I left a lot of time out on the track. Only more seat time will take care of that.

I want to also take this time to congratulate my good Friend Tyler. H for his first autox in his evo 8. He had a smile on his face all day long. He is already prepping for the Aug 10th event.

At this time I would also like to thank my sponsors.
