Dethroned as mid-atlantic autocross champion!

EDIT: PICS POSTED http://s78.photobucket.com/albums/j8...ie%20July%201/

to Gabe (gdmaxse) for squeaking out a win today at the Bowie Stadium CDC event. He brought the "skills" out and beat me out in an EXTREMELY tight, technical course that saw alot of maximas hitting alot of cones in the slalom, which was the tightest I've ever seen at an autocross (the course designer drove a Triumph Spitfire.... ) Took ya until your 6th run to do it, but now you're the Maxima to beat in these parts...

Gabe, that's the last time I let you sit shotgun while I run in the earlier heat!

Congrats to Jason Soonerfan for his strong 3rd place finish among the maximas

Of note: The maximas were the full-size-sedan champs of the day, with both G35 Sedans losing to us (woot!).....

pics, vids, results coming later

front left belt goes to an eyebolt where the stock seatbelt bolt is down at the bottom of the seat. Front right is attached to a OEM buckle piece so it clicks into OEM buckle. Rears are attached to eye bolts that replaced the OEM bolts that hold the rear seat belt female ends (driver's side and middle) in. The harness has quick-release clips, so it clicks onto the eyebolts and takes about 2 minutes to set up and take off...
