Tavian first autocross competition
He took his four runs and improved by huge chunks (~10-12 sec.) each time. He wanted more!
Here’s the view from the top of his helmet:
Here’s the view from my phone, which obviously needs to find a new mounting place; it was there for data collection (and apologies for not sorting out the name of the car before making the video overlay):

Tavian’s Thanksgiving story
Once upon a time there was a turkey. His name was Batman. Batman lives on a farm in Virginia. A farmer named Crazy Dave owns the farm and 400 pigs, 5 cows, 20 chickens, and 1 turkey. One night Batman is woken by Crazy Dave’s yells. Batman pops out of his hay pile as soon as Crazy Dave yells, “I’m eating those turkeys for Thanksgiving!” Batman panics.
Next morning he decides to disguise himself as a Pirate. He gets to work at once. He runs into the barn gets his pile of hay, finds the paint and ta-da he is done. The next morning he goes into the barn and says Arrrr…! Then his costume falls off. “Oh no” says Batman. He runs away as fast as he can and escapes.
The next morning Batman decides to disguise himself as a pig. It looks just like a pig when he is done. The next morning he stray out on the field pretending to roll in the mud. Crazy Dave counts his pigs. He counts 401 pigs he goes crazy! Then Batman’s costume falls off and Crazy Dave finds out that Batman disguised himself again. Crazy Dave gets so mad he faints. Batman makes a run for it. He never sees Crazy Dave again. Batman lives happily every after.
