I was going to ask about the group of dads at Dadwood who have shown up in their minivans, sat in their own corner comparing children's cassettes and are adamant they don't need a fun car. I thought I might touch a nerve somewhere. Whoops said it anyway.

I can see the Honda Element parked next to a Fiat Multipla already!

More photos from one of the competitors.
Note the two below are of me first running over, then ejecting a cone.
Oh, results. I was 3rd slowest overall behind a 1961 VW dune buggy and a newbie in a Focus ST. In PAX I did better, but still, slow.

Photos from today's autocross by Mrs. CraigB. Did about the same last time, way down on the list, but not the slowest. Beat out an S-10 and a 1972 Mustang Mach 1. I did take home a 1st place sticker for my class (XA), but that's only because the rest of them were too scared of the Hardbody to show.
And finally a video that I put together quickly with video that Mrs. CraigB shot.

You can do a lot with a solid rear axle, just needs something other than 30 year old leaf springs.
I keep meaning to strip those down and rear clear them, but I'm afraid of what they look like underneath the paint.
