Default Hotchkis Autocross Race video. 10/26/2014.

These guys put on a great show. Hi energy, and some beautiful cars. I like the rules they have too. Street tires that are 200tw or more. That's it. Do whatever you want. My car isn't really setup for street tires, but it can do okay with them. 1st. in class. 2nd. overall out of 75 drivers. .04 out of 1st. overall. You can hear my disgust at the end of the video.

Steve

Thanks. "Fancy Pants" is actually quite sick right now. Without going into all the details, she sure can use some good thoughts and prayers.
thanks,

Lol, I'd be grossed out too, 0.04 sec?
Interesting course made longer by crossing over here and there, do they send 1 car at a time? Looked pretty dangerous with that Mustang coming in to do the 360 just a cone line away.

Will have to check it out next time. Does Hotchkis have their goods out there/install on the spot as a bonus?

Fun facts from the weekend.
Ladies took 1st. and 2nd. overall Saturday.
Ladies took 1st. and 3rd. overall Sunday.

If you went both days, the driver that had the best average time for the weekend got a big trophy. Here's Rita picking up her trophy. The guys got beat bad.

Go Rita. Love seeing fellow SCCA Autocrossers doing that. I wonder if she had my front bar on her car for the event. Hope so!

They send 2 cars out. It did look a little dangerous, but no issues.
John Hotchkis was there helping out, but no products.

How does El Toro compare to Auto Club Speedway? Never been to either. How many runs does PCA give? Seems expensive...

The two lots are very different. ACS has no traction and big dips. El Toro has tons of traction and no elevation changes.
PCA gives you 12 laps. Great club.
