That would be Tommy Chang (according to the results pdf - I haven't met the guy personally).
We could also photoshop the #'s - no one would ever know, Brett, hee hee.

Nice event and great track at the GRA event. I really enjoyed it.
Here is a video of my best time. 60.501, not a trophy run but fun none the less.

That's someone with great taste in cars Mako !!!!
My car's actually a little different looking, but you probably couldn't tell unless they were parked next to each other...
Next event we'll get it...

Nice work Katie! Excellent Panning Shots! I
STILL have trouble getting ones as good as yours. ... are you the one that had the new D40 ... that I used to shoot you and your bf + Miata in the morning? Or are you the one that I asked to step back ... up to the Grid ... while you were shooting? (I was worried about you getting better shots then me.

Hey all. I'm new to SCCA Solo 2, and I had a good time at Fontana last weekend... Even though I totally got my ass handed to me!

Thanks for a fun event.
Quick question. How long does it usually take to get the Indexed Results up on the website? I'm anxious to see just how badly I got beat down!

They were up by 6:30pm Sunday night. Go to the Events Forum, then Event Results sub-forum. Results are posted on the AXWare site, at least initially.
