[Shotimes] Wet Peoria AutoX lots of fun.

[Donald Mallinson]

Just got back from the first autocross in the Peoria, IL 
area in about three years.  Finally found a business person 
that owns a lot that has the guts to allow it to happen.

Local Porsche club put on the event, not supposed to be a 
drop of rain near us, but the skies opened and poured for a 
couple hours.  We stopped for lunch when the lightning happened!

Ken got a good time in his 95 SHO ATX, and I tried out my 
new toy, a 1997 540 BMW 6-speed. (still have the SHO's, this 
became available at too cheap a price to turn down. still 
not sure if I am keeping it).

Fun to play with power on oversteer with this RWD V8. 
Turned off the traction control and was sidways most of the 
course on a really tight set-up in a small lot.

More autocrosses will happen at this lot in the future.
