Sounds good.  So how many "demonstration" runs did Derek end up getting
anyway?  ;)

Also, the other Z that was there, the 400HP black twin turbo; it was his
FIRST AutoX ever.  He started out with an 89, and improved all the way down
to a 76 on his last run.  Then I took him for a fun run in my poor little
240HP non-turbo and just blew his mind.  hehehe...we have another convert,
he's planning on running ST-OSP for the full season.

I get the same thing, though I prefer to call them "race horse shakes".
Especially with 4-5 fun runs in a row, my clutch foot will start to shake a
bit when at the starting line; and it took me a good two or three steps
after getting out of the car to remember exactly how to walk properly...
The off season has been too long, my system can't take all this adrenaline.

Thanks for the excellent event all, I can't wait for March 5th!
