: Representing the Jeep owners!

So, this past Thursday I attended the SRT Experience in Englishtown, NJ. I've autocrossed, I've got a fair bit of road course track time and as I mentioned, I have even run down a dragstrip 3 times, but none of those experiences could really prepare me for the weather conditions we faced on Thursday. I was surprised that we were allowed to run in those conditions. It was raining so fiercely that it was hard to see at times. That said, I'm proud to say that two of the three podium finishers for the autocross were Jeep owners (including yours truly!).

As some many before me have said, it's a great experience. I'm not sure I'd spend $500 on it, but it was fun nevertheless. I had such a good time and met some great folks. The instructors were wonderful. I had the good fortune of getting to ride in a Jeep for the hotlaps, which was pretty cool. The guy was basically drifting his way around the track, which was pretty wild... Anyway, if you have the opp. to go, I highly recommend it.

Shake n Bake autocross winners today (Sunday)- We got the orange cone trophy, and free photo.

I took 1st in the Challenger Challenge (undefeated)- won a Be Petty gift card - too bad they don't have a track near PA

It was a lot of fun today

not much instruction - but lots of seat time(done prior Ford/SVT and Audi track days)

The Jeep impressed MANY!

We started the day wet and ended dry, good time by all

I was impressed how well the cars held up to our abuse, only one casualty - broken accelerator pedal on a charger

Yeah I didn't go because I saw the weather forecast. I tried getting a refund or rescheduling but they were ****s about it. I KNOW it says you cant cancel or get a refund 14 days or less before the event but still haha. Oh wells
