I got in trouble at the AutoShow in Motion at
Great America...when I was in the Suburban...they
said I made the tires squeal too much...and they
punched my name tag with one demerit. Some guy
in a Blazer or equivalent was catchin up to me...
and I couldn't let that happen..I didn't hit any
cones though. At the start...one guy told me
that he could tell I autocrossed. Ha.
