I have a ton of pics but when I tried to back them up to icloud it said time remaining was 5 hours (???) so I will do it tonight when I go to bed. WOW!!!
Here is the course, although we actually did it opposite of this, so starting with a quick left turn and ending with a fast straight.
Did I say this already--WOW!!!

At the breakfast, I was the ONLY woman, and at the autocross there were wives/girlfriends, but they came to watch. There was actually one husband/wife team that each had their own car, but the wife drove a Panamera. It was fast, but talk about an absolute TANK! And yes, 2012 indeed!!! (I wonder if how we felt at the PCA meeting is how Kenny and DF feel on here, LOL.)

I'm glad that our club has lots of women! If you keep going to meetings, I'll bet the other wives start showing up.
I don't know, being the only girl owner there made me question myself. I know it's silly, and I'm the first to say (loudly)"Don't worry what people think of you", but . . .

That we are women who like quality automative machinery with superior performance? That's not WRONG honey, that's RIGHT! What's wrong with the rest of the (women* of) world that they aren't in the same boat with us?
*I say "women" here, but I really mean "people" (and I frequently allow my definition of "people" to include *men* on days when I'm being generous ). And of course I'm being funny here (or trying to anyway), but let's face it, some men/women/people just don't have an appreciation for fine cars... just like they don't have an appreciation for fine jewelry.
So, iLander, my dear friend, do not for one second question yourself! You are in good--albeit gender-skewed--comany here.
We are WOMEN/PEOPLE and we love CARS!!!
