Speedlimitracing & CSCC Autocross videos. 1/17-18/2015.
Saturday I went to a small Autocross race. The track was great fun, despite its size. 3rd. overall out of 40 street tire cars.
Sunday I went for a race at Auto Club Speedway. I left any skills I have at home and was almost to embarrassed to even show the video, but I figured it will make you guys with more skills feel better.
The results made me feel much better, but I know what really happened behind the wheel. 
2nd. in class. 12th. overall out of 150 cars. 51.1 seconds.
Here's my take on street tires. I've only done a few events on them. All of your mistakes are amplified by two. They make a lot of noise. This is the big one. Even when you get it right you're still going slow. There's just not any excitement to them. I suppose if I was 16yrs. old and I wanted to become a race car driver I could see some value in running them, but I'm not. I'm living for the moment and I want maximum fun now.

First video is private.
You weren't nearly as slow as you're letting on. I just looked up the results! CST PAX factor kills you on official ranking, but I'm pretty sure you're close in prep to AS which puts you well within top 5-10. (And if you want to see embarrassing that would be my video from this weekend. Flying laps with PCA... if you thought I hit a lot of cones before, try no break between laps on a slalom intensive tight course, although I was 2nd raw time behind an ariel atom and ahead of a GT3 so that was cool
)
That's not a fair statement about street tires! I generally do better on them somehow because I don't pick up as much advantage as I should jumping to r-comps. Which street tires were you running?
Hopefully I'll be able to get out to another El Toro PCA event soon, those are fun. Won't be Feb since it intersects with the Evo school here. Might see you at the El Toro pro if you're doing that. And I'll be at the champ event in SD as Official Team Tire Warmer for a BS solstice

Let's get off those cones, so you can show off your real talent.
See you soon hopefully.
