MattD WINS MOWOG AutoX SM class for 2009!
 
http://www.mnautox.com/results/2009/...009_Series.htm

Congrats to a MattD aka 'martha' one of the MitsuStyle admin team for owning the SM class this year! Nice work man!

Also Brandon Ranvek came with on one of our cruises and owned the STU class!

These guys are highly competitive, so let's give them this ONE pat on the back and then get back to pretending they don't know a thing about driving to make sure they're fired up to rise up against the man! What man? Who knows. Silly cone dodgers. :)

Thanks, everyone. I left BSP for SM this year, leaving behind a well prepared BMW M3 to continue dominating there. A lot of people left SM for XP this year, which left me to be the most prepared car in the class.

Don't forget about Ryan (mustgofaster), he placed 2nd in XP, the highest class there is for a street car (or what once was). This past Sunday he turned the fastest raw time of the day in a car he had never driven, a completely gutted and highly modified Subaru Impreza L that has a WRX engine in it.

Regardless of what people drive, purpose built race car or a stock Miata, it still needs to be driven well to win. I changed a lot on my car this year, missed the first half of the season and it showed. I had not had any seat time since our Pro Kart league ended mid-winter, but as luck would have it I didn't face any stiff competition in my class. 2009 is in the books, time to look forward to 2010.

LOL I only did one race event this year due to my clutch issues.

I took the course this year but had too much going on and the car wasn't tuned at all. Next year I'm not changing things and plan to do a lot of autox. I even had my numbers registered and all made up, just never got a chance to use them yet.

wow man, congrats! I'm hoping to hit up more auto-x events next year for sure. The galant feels pretty sweet already. I'm quite excited.

There is a girl that comes to almost every event in her G6 GT, so there is absolutely no limit to what kind of car can participate. If you ever decide to be competitive then you will need to choose between building your car appropriately or building a car that is suitable for a certain class.

Very nice. The wing probably doesn't help much during auto-x, does it?

I'm going to have to try this eventually.
