It looked like a run per hour for 5 hours plus a lunch break.  The fast guys looked like they had powered tire warmers, not just passive ones.

Lots off fancy diffs in the top 5.  The winning corvette is pretty ridiculous in a good way.  Twin turbo with sequential shifter.

That was one bumpy lot for an autocross with this many cool cars.

Yeah, of things with non-stock suspension pretty much only swenson and Laughlin's cars looked at all composed on course. I'm impressed the evos were as fast as they were, they all looked like they were trying to get airborne over every bump.

With his win today, Swenson has won $33k in the past 15 months, between this and KOTM 1.0

This kind of event looks like a great time to me. Then I remember how terribly bad I get beat by the "pro" drivers at the challenge in my own car.

Ohh, 5 hours of coverage.  That will be some background distraction to some desk work this week!
