[Shotimes] Nice day at Rantoul Autocross in IL.

[Donald Mallinson]

The rain stayed away entirely and we had a very nice, if 
windy day at the SCCA autocross in Rantoul, IL.

Ken was ahead of me by .2 of a second all day, doesn't sound 
bad till you realize I had my race tires on, Quaife and 25 
more hp!  And still didn't beat him!  We swapped cars and he 
beat me by 3 seconds, so that proves it.  I am officially 
over the hill!  :)

Still, Ken (95 Silver Frost) and Me (89 Titanium) were the 
ONLY four door cars running!  All fart pipe civics or 
Miatas, or vettes or S2000's etc.  Considering we were at 
least 500 to 700 pounds heavier than most cars, we didn't do 
bad.

Fastest cars (only a few) were running in the low 50's with 
FTD a Vette, and only car in the high 40's.  Ken and I wound 
up both in the mid 56's and ahead of a bunch of smaller cars.

I think we did the SHO proud.

I know I had a great time, and so did Ken.

Rain hit as we were leaving town, and we drove back in rain 
all the way, but it was mostly sunny and super nice for the 
racing.
