Ya, the course was super fast and a ton of fun at Mineral Wells! We were at the top of fourth at the end of the back section which is probably 80-90 mph for us. Nick or Erich have the numbers to figure it out. Saturday was also a great time being with all of the other schools and having a relaxed day of racing. Huge thanks to UTA and Dr. Woods and everyone who helped organize the event. Also, big thanks to OU and their crew!

Great photos Travis! I still would like to see if anyone could post a picture or something of the saturday afternoon results. I was very impressed with everybody tearing up the courses all afternoon, I wish that we had brought two cars so we could have driven some more! A big thank you to Dr. Woods for hosting an amazing event, I cannot wait to come back!

I'd like to give a big thanks to Dr. Bob and the whole UTA crew for putting this on every year. i can't imagine how much time and effort you guys put into this event. it runs so smoothly it looks effortless to us on the outside.
The competition there is rediculously tough. I mean you have the two raining autocross winners from cali and detroit, and you know UTA is going to be crazy fast. i don't think i've ever been to TAW and not had my jaw drop at the times being put down.
so to all those schools that want to learn how to make your car faster come down next year. I promise you you'll walk away with a long list of stuff to work on next year. I know we do.
see ya at nationals..peace

I think someone should mention that Nick set ftd in the afternoon in the UTA '05 car. Razz Not that it mattered much, he was fast all weekend anyways.

I am glad to hear everyone had a good time. That's what it's all about. Hope to see you guys in the years to come!

Catch some of you at Nationals!

I just wanted you to know kohler that I was totally going about 70% both days. I'm gonna smoke you at Nats.

All electrical components and wiring harnesses depend on proper circuit functioning, which is the transmission of charged ions by retention of the visible spectral manifestation known as "smoke". Smoke is the thing that makes electrical circuits work. Don't be fooled by scientists and engineers talking about excited electrons and the like. Smoke is the key to all things electrical

Nick-

Yeah, I am sure Dr. Woods will post something soon to summarize the weekends events. I bet he will make a note here as well. I am sure the in car video will follow shortly, provided there is good sound.

Erich-

Really??? 70%... Wow. That would make you guys like... totally fast. Razz Besides, everyone knows I am not elligible for the Dr. Bob Cup. Hopefully I am back up to speed by Nats as well. I look forward to racing on that new surface even if the rumor is that it's a little slippery.
