i'd like to start out by saying wow what a good time. i hope everyone involved in the event had as good of a time as i did. announcing was a blast and i hope i did a good job for everyone. a big thanks to max, roman, and pete for letting me drive their cars this weekend. i truely appreciate it and actually found out how a real car is supposed to handle . Thanks to all the drivers who drove this weekend for the first time. you all did very well. mako was out there taking some great pics and i cant wait to see them. man we had some timing problems towards the end of yesterdays runs but we all pulled through and using stop watches. pete did a super job with that. today max posted the best time with a 35.2 followed by roman with a 35.9 or so, next best i belive was me with a 36.13 in roman's car, but all in all everyone did great. i dont know what else to say but thanks everyone for a great weekend. since i've been racing autocross for the last few months i can say this was the most fun i've ever had.

thanks again
jason

I'll have more comentary later, still have and ice hockey game tonight, leaving shortly.  Your Black Box warren ended up being the winning GG!!

I can arrange a trophy drop for you!! More info to follow.

And, GREAT job Jason announcing, your ability to keep it informative and fun was impressive.  I'll be recruiting you later to help me tune my ride, your times were so darn close to mine, it scared me!

    Thanks Pete. Playing hockey? I was tired just watching the playoffs on T.V. tonight!

Good news on my finish. How many G.G. entrants were there? Two?

Well, I'm definitely less dissappointed that I couldn't make it back today.
Thanks again to your team.

Edit:I just noticed the noob sticky about username.

Mako's shot of the Mustang at sunset is magazine cover quality stuff!  Definitely the work of a world class camera man, and with the modern wonders of PhotoShop:

i'm not a great driver but i do know suspension does significantly help out the wrx....i have a 06 wrx and i push like crazy but thats what subaru's do....jeff barco, seb rios and greg ping are the guys you should talk to
-jason

dude your talking about two kick ass drivers here greg lol....i hear you did awsome at the practice at eltoro, posting times in the 62's...thats great man...jeff wong says your drivings been excellent lately....i'd like to drive with you at the next practice or in a fun run sometime

Batch processing all 700+ photos at the moment ... hopefully I got most everyone covered? As usual, Team Blew members get free High Rez files of any shots that they want for themselves ... and inexpensive At Cost prints from Fotki. Just let me know which shots you want. The Batch Processed shots are NOT Enlarged, Cropped or Color/Density corrected. The shots you ask for WILL BE Enlarged, Cropped and Corrected. Fotki charges $2.95 for an 8" X 12" ... $0.40 for a 5" X 7", plus shipping.

I'll post the link to the album with the photos later this evening.

I'm upset with myself that I didn't think to use Fill Flash until the later half of Sunday. It's not often one gets to photograph Auto Cross at such close distances, where Fill Flash works to make ones usually shadowed face stand out.
