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 2:30pm. I then registered and passed tech. Cenla SCCA split up the runs into (2) heats. I ran first. For the most part I no longer work the course since I am a Cenla SCCA board member, but today I was a Solo Safety Steward (SSS) for half of the event. We had a 1 hour lunch break. I ran my final (3) runs and then watched the final heat. I ran in the Street Mod (SM) class.
Weather started with a 65F sunny evening, and at midnight it was 51F. This was a night race (6pm to midnight).
