Where'd you race today?
I decided to go autocrossing at the Joint Emergency Services Training Center (JESTC) in Zachary, LA today.
I trailered my RS again to this event. This keeps the miles off the RS and eliminates the need to swap from street wheels/tires to my autox setup. I arrived at JESTC around 7:45am. I helped setup registration/timing/scoring. Cenla SCCA split up the runs into (2) heats. I didn't work today because I am a Cenla SCCA Board Member. I ran in the 2nd run group. We had a 45 minute lunch break. In the last run group, I ran my final (3) runs. I ran in the Street Mod (SM) class.
Weather started with a 59F sunny morning, peaked with a high of 80F. It was sunny all day.
