Hi Ken,
I still remember my first autocross. It was with the SFR at Foothills
College in '87 and you were probably there as you were at most SFR
autocrosses. That day I got beaten by everybody in my class and the
ladies class, including perhaps 4 women driving Honda Civic Si's. It was
a very humbling beginning. At least Stacy Lynde (now Reitmeier) was
running in CS!
But that was back when both the 944 and the Civic Si were in DS running
very competitively against each other. Now one is in CS and one is in
HS. Imagine that!
