Result - Deep Freeze Autocross 2005

We are somewhat weird as a region not based in the South (OK, WV isn't exaclty Maine, but we were on the right side during the war) for running events in January and February. The last two years our January event had to be cancelled because of weather and venue problems. When I volunteered to organize this year's January event, I dubbed it Deep Freeze, after the last January event we actually ran. Given our recent heat wave, I didn't think it would actually be freezing. How wrong I was - it was cold all day, and it started snowing around 1:30, right in the middle of our second runs. So the last half of the event was a futile exercise in traction. I'm fairly happy with how the new car feels, but it was really kind of hard to judge on the basis of one dry run.

On to the results:
