Only A3 at Mid-Ohio
Just back from the Mid-Ohio track outing. My first club event. What a great time. Great people, cars and track.
The A3 did well. A little rear-end shimmy under heavy braking just before turn 7. Other than that my 2.0 6sp was a good confidence builder.
Can't wait for the next event ... must find disposable income...

You were the lone A3, but you did your brethren proud. :)
Great job today; you were really hard to catch. ;-) If you're interested, I have some pics up <a href="http://public.fotki.com/DogDodger/cars/tt-1/events/acna_driving_school/">here</A>. They were taken by my girlfriend, so of course they're mostly my car. :-\ If you're ever around Huntington, WV, shoot me an email.

How full was your gas tank? My TT does the same thing when the tank is down to about 1/4 or so. With half a tank or more, there's not even a hint of a wiggle, regardless of the amount of braking.

What a time! Your TT has inspired me. Think about August 14th at Nelson Legdes. I hear it is a fun track. I'm calling in sick for sure that day.

Inspired?
I'm not sure how, since you seemed quite fast enough, but if you mean the mods and whatnot, that's a slippery slope. Be careful there LOL. At the tech inspection the guy asked how much money I had thrown into the car. I honestly answered, "I dunno." And I don't really wanna. 
And I have to work on the 14th. My partner is working 7 days in a row for me so I could get this weekend off, so I think it'd be in my best interest to not ask for any trades for a while. I'll be checking the A3 forum for a report on the event, however.
