Detroit Region Firecracker Event 1st

Came in first in my class at the Detroit Region SCCA autocross held at the Waterford Hills Road Course. They used the actual road course for the event but coned out some slaloms and tightened the turns to keep the speeds down.

I saw your Cobalt there. I ran one run and was told i was "too loud", so i packed up and left. Nothing i could do there to quiet the car. I may design an addition to the exhaust to aim it at the infield and not trip the sound meter.
