So this weekend was rough. I arrived at the match tour location around 3pm Friday evening after I woke up due to working graveyard shifts. I worked all Friday night and then drove back from Denver to Fountain. I then competed all without sleep so it was pretty rough
. I didn't return on Sunday for the last chance qualifier because I got out of work at 7 and the qualifier started at 8. I wasn't going to break the law and I was super tired. Anyhow regardless of the fatigue I still finished second in CS behind Paul Brown who owns this:
National Champion 370Z
My runs started slow and eventually got some what better. I came within 1.6 sec of Paul. Here's the results from SCCA unofficial but official now:

The only mods my car has is an Eibach front sway (stiffest Setting I believe), alignment and ZII's. This was my second event in the car.
