Review of SD Tour Day 1 - from the other seat

At the end of Saturday, Jason had driven really well and was in 1st place. I had two dirty runs earlier, so I made a conservative 3rd run in order to stay in the hunt for the second day.

The conservative run still left me in 4th place by the end of the day. I can't complain about that. At least I still had a chance to do well on Sunday.

After returning to the hotel, we reviewed the day and looked at the weather forecast for Sunday. I wasn't happy with the forecast. It showed that the morning would start out wet and would dry out as the day progressed. These are the worst possible conditions for an autocross. It turns the event from a 3 run day into a 1 run day and the driver that goes last would have the best chance of winning. I felt that either completely wet or completely dry would have favored us more.

We had to get up early for Sunday, so we went to bed nice and early.
