Excellent Brian.  Congratulations!!
  I'm not up on NASA classes, so can you elaborate on what are the vehicular provisions for Class D?  Does this force a graduation to the next higher class?

  The final event of the NASA MidAtlantic NASA-X season was Sunday and
came down to me and my buddy in his Subie, seperated by 2 points so the
winner would take the season championship for TTD class. It was a very
flowing, fast course that resembled a small roadcourse, fast esses, big
sweepers and wide slaloms.

We had a good battle going back and forth trying to find traction in
40-50 deg. temps. I had run a 50.9X to his 51.7X and on he last run he
did a 50.713. I responded with a 50.616 and the class came down to less
than a 1/10th of a second over 12 events and over 100 runs.

Finally caught the LS1 FC (he's now building an LS2 FD though) and
almost had the GT3. Just showing the mk3 can hold it's own against some
newer/ more capable vehicles. Next year I might make the switch to
stickier tires (Toyo RA1?) but I think the Azenis have more time to find
on warm days, the only car in the top 10 that wasn't on R's was a highly
modded Evo.

Here are some vids from Sunday:
