The Results - 2001

After a full year in the Escort, I decided to move up a little in the autocross food chain. During the offseason, I bought a 2nd generation Honda CRX and moved into C/Street Prepared. Unfortunately, being in C/SP means being beaten by the living legend of our region, so the results were very hard to come by. I did managae one win, tho', made my first appearance outside of the SWVR, and (along with my brother) organized my first event.
