C3 Autocross Video
I posted this in the "Road Course Junkies..." thread but thought it might get more exposure if I made a separate thread.
This is in-car video of me at Grissom in Peru Indiana in late October. I was running 275-16 Hoosier A6's; the only faster car all weekend was a fully race prepped, 2600lb C4 with 406ci and 550+hp. And he was only about .5sec faster most of the weekend and then finally pulled 1.2sec on me on his last run.
I had the muffler tubes on my side pipes pulled off for these runs, so turn up the volume!

I hear ya...I had to get together with my buddy who loaned me his camera to get these videos onto the computer; and just hanging out, working on these videos and talking about racing has got me so pumped up for April! So pumped up I ordered another set of tires!

More of the same...Hoosier A6's 275/45-16. I want to go to 315-17's but found an almost-brand-new set of the 16's for 2/3 the cost of new. I have too many tires already, but needed a set of fast tires for the SCCA and concrete events.

Nice Video. Do you have a sharkbar for the camera mount or a custom rig? Gordon, did you ever get a camera mount?
I have been putting it off, perhaps this year I'll finally get off the a$$ and put one in.
Oh...What tires are you running? I think I'll be using the old 15inch vintage w/ goodyears
