And I won some things. Already known to me was my somewhat impressive overall class win in G Street over my father in the same BMW 318ti but more importantly a Ford Focus ST. I also happened to win, by unanimous decision apparently, the Most Improved Driver Award. That one really should be the Most Improved Car Award as I actually got serious this year and put some proper tires on the car and did some minor tweaking and refreshing, the car just allowed me to showcase what skills I do have better this year than in years past. But Im not one to complain over getting some extra hardware. Anyways, its onto next season where I have no idea what Im going to do for class and hope to get an overall PAX win for the season after coming a surprising second this year.

There's a bunch of great people in my region, they're the ones who make it fun. At the end of the day the driving is fun and all but the people are who really make it special. Next year I might try to do some larger events outside my region so I might make it up closer towards you.

I'll probably head to the CNY region once this season if they hold another day-night doubleheader again, that was so fun.

We're trying to talk our region into doing a night one but the day night double header is definitely something Id try to go to if they had it again, two of our regulars went and said it was a blast.

Yep, we all laughed when he showed up in the Countryman but he had the last laugh. With that last overall PAX win he almost passed me in the standings for the year, I think there was less than a point between us

So could I win this if I just drive backwards and run over some people for the first half of the season, and then actually try?

Probably. Last year I didn't get to run a full season and was on ancient dry rotted tires and ran a full season this year on some nice sticky Ventus RS-3s

You definitely deserved it. That car/driver combo is like lightning, I can't catch it.

Thanks Kyle! Hopefully we'll get out on the track and do some proper racing in 2016!
