Attended the Match Tour at Pitt Race this weekend. The weather did not cooperate at all, but it was really fun nonetheless. It was good to see how much more potential the Fiesta ST has, meaning, watching people who really know what they are doing drive one! Got to keep working on the nut behind the wheel if I want to go any faster.

I love the Math Tours. Almost more than the normal tours.

I went and co-drove this thing. It went less poorly than expected! Tons of fun. Weather sucked. Sunday morning made up for it with excellent grip and we got to really push the car for the first time this season after a bunch of changes over winter.

I really liked the Match Tour format. I'd choose them over a regular Tour. It's more like an amped up local event with a different, better attitude IMO.

I haven't even made a single auto-x run yet this year. This weekend will be event #3 that I'm not driving in.

An STS FC! That's a rare sight, and I love it.

Match tours are good fun.

This was the theme of the weekend. We could have talked to people about the car every second it was in grid. Everyone has their own story about one of these things, it seems.

Bonus: for 2nd and 5th (5th?! Seriously?) the car earned $275 in contingency from mazda.
