With the timeframe we had, everyone actually got 5 passes apiece – a generous number for this type of thing [at the Nationals, I'm told you only get 2 or 3] There was a LOT of pebbles and gravel on the track that day, and a LOT of people were having a hard time with it.

You’ll notice that twice my tail came out there, and I saw the same thing happen to several other people. Other then that, it was a fun course. The Cold Air Intake that was on the car when I bought it [which is also the only performance mod] unfortunately …
