My first day of autocross
Well.... I'm already addicted, signed up for next weekend already
I got 9 runs in, but towards the end my rear tires (which are pretty bald) were slipping all over the place. I even did a 360 on one my last runs!
I actually only went off course once (first cone on my first run ) and only hit two cones all day, but that's probably because I wasn't driving hard enough. All that really matters is that it was incredibly fun
Here is a video of one of my best runs, I think it was my 5th of the day.
I need practice!

Yes the course was a blast, very well set up. Threw it in 2nd and stayed there the whole time.
I couldn't fit my head with the helmet on under the roof so I took it off

The course was a blast! About a mile long I think. I'm addicted and realize I'll be pouring money into this, this is why I work I'm doing another one this Saturday! You can count on me being in this section of the forum a lot, I have so many questions!

Chris, I go to WPI, if you are who I think you are you also went there? I'm the kid with the polo green C4, I think we met last year at the motorsports garage?
Yes the autocross people are the greatest! Everyone is so friendly and willing to help out always, it's great.
