Result - (Belated) February Autocross

Autocross is a sport that relies on (relatively) empty parking lots for venues. So imagine our surprise when we showed up for our February event and found the lot half-full of AAU basketball fans! Maybe it was a blessing - the weather that day was cold and wet, but by the time we reassembled for the event two weeks later, it was a beautiful sunny pre-spring day. This was my first chance to really wring out the new Neon. It's got a lot of potential and after some development should be a real beast. My brother and I fought at the top of STS all day. I had him after three runs, but he dug deep to knock me off on our final run.
