Well, it was a horribly organized event (last week's COM Auto-X), an hour between run groups of standing around doing nothing, wondering what the hell is going on and literally no one knowing what is going on for an hour at a time is a bit rediculous. Their speaker system was hard to hear if you were more than 50' away from it, that's pretty hard to hear when there are modded cars shooting up and down the track, nearly every one of them with loud exhaust.

I am sure if the MNAuto-X guys had a monkey running the event, it was probably run better/faster/smoother than that COM event. It was a blast, don't get me wrong, but there were a few points where I felt like leaving because everything was taking entirely too damn long.
