Getting back in the swing

As I said in my last blog Magic City Motoring was moving the world headquarters and it has taken a bit more time than expected to complete. This has caused a slight delay in our updates. Well that and the rain, the tremendous amounts of rain that have dampened almost every car event this month. we have much planned to keep the blog fresh through the winter down time but, with the move causing this content to packed up and the desktop disassembled there was nothing that could be done. Now that the excuses are over I did make it to a rare private invite car event today. The event held at the Birmingham Race Course was a wonderful midweek AutoCross for a select local company. The goal was to show their employees the ins and outs of car control. They were very successful from what I saw. But to this author it was the first time I have AutoCrossed in almost 15 years (and that only time wasn't even a full day). I did three runs in a car supplied by the event sponsors consisting of a ride along, a DNF (missed a gate, could have got it but would have taken out 20 or so cones), and a clean run of 64.20. So has the bug bitten? We will soon find out. Stay tuned we hope to make either the Petit LeMans or the Fultondale show this weekend.
