Default CSCC Autocross Videos. 8/16-17/2014.

Saturday I was not motivated at all for awhile. Seemed like the same old thing. Frustrating, more frustrating and a little fun sprinkled in a few times. Later in the day, I was feeling better and the passengers helped too, as you can hear in the video. About 5th. overall out of 100 cars.

Sunday's race.

Motivation was not a problem Sunday, but being highly motivated can make you overdrive. I couldn't get the car to turn as well as I liked, so I overshoot some corners on exit. Getting to know the car in 4 laps and doing my best to put down a great time had some entertaing spots. 1st. in class. 11th. in PAX.

At least you ended up with good results for the weekend.
I was motivated yet frustrated by my poor driving.

So how did you like the Hankooks? Was this the first event on them? They get slightly better after a few heat cycles.

This sport can be brutal.

I only ran the Hankooks one practice event. I didn't like them compared to my Hoosiers. Just wasn't as fun. I was on Hoosiers Saturday and Sunday. The Hankooks are going to be my street tires to go to Church and In and Out Burger.

Did not get to try yet I drove a different car on this event.
But looking forward to finally testing the C6 with upsized RS3 V2 this Sunday, can't wait!
