Congratulations, Randy!
Was that taken at Charlies, in Sylvania, by any chance?

Hi Jeff, it was Charlie's on Airport Hwy, just east of Swanton (barely ten miles from home, if that, so a resonably safe distance for a first outing).

What is the history of your car? It reminds me a great deal of the car that sat beside my 100 when I purchased it.
I want to say the 100-6 I remember had a history in autocross.
I purchased my 100 in 1994 from a fellow living near Cedar Point Amusement Park. They had some Formula Fords, a BJ8 and a TR250. There were other cars and some motorcycles.

I bought the car in San Francisco in 1978. I'm pretty sure it had been in the Lake Tahoe area before that. I don't know its earlier history.

And yes, it does indeed have autocross history; here I am doing a handbrake-turn at a 1985 Trans Louisiana Autocross Challenge (TLAC) event:
