It’s 6 pm and our first event is tomorrow. And Panda looked like this a few hours ago (#becausestreetmod or #corralesesareprocrastinators or something):
In other news, we’ve finally addressed the whirring sound the MINI (Gilligan) has been making since October of 2014, and by “we” I mean I asked a mechanic to do it. I trusted Joe at NINO Performance in Bethany, CT with Gilligan and I highly recommend him. I haven’t decided if Gilligan will do any autocross this year, but I’m pretty excited to have it as an option. I might even bring it tomorrow as my back-up street mod car (even though it’s completely stock). Anyway, if you’re local, and need work done, go see Joe, and tell him I sent you.
Yeah, I know it’s not a great picture, but it’s what you get when I’m rushing off to teach babywearing.
It’s supposed to be a beautiful day tomorrow. I remember the first event last year, thinking it was a beautiful day, and that I wished I had spent it with MJ instead of autocrossing. I’ve decided to leave MJ at home tomorrow (well, not at home, but with my parents) so I don’t have to pack for him, think about what he’ll eat, find someone to take care of him during my heats, etc. It was a tough decision to make, as I’ll be traveling for work for 7 of the next 14 days. I spend so much time away from him for work that it’s hard to be away from him voluntarily. At least my parents have learned to use FaceTime. Only 3 more years and he’ll be old enough for the kart program!
So, goals. I guess I should have some. I’d like to get more comfortable in Panda. I want to have that “oh @#$%” feeling during my runs instead of staying in my comfort zone. I’d like to get at least one mom to try autocross this season. And yeah, it would be nice if I also win.
