First time out autocrossing
Tuesday, April 04, 2006 8:04 AM
and it was fun!!

I placed 10th out of 12 cars in my class so I feel pretty good considering my mods and the cars I was up against. Spencer (Strat81) was there to and I think he said he placed 6th. There were some insane cars there and it made for a good time Sunday.

Heres the only picture I have at the moment...



As you can see, that was actually my first lap and I messed up on that turn and went off course....

Heres the video, I hosted it on myspace....

That must of been pretty wild for some of the frequent atoX'ers in that area to see your car out there.

That's pretty cool man! You have a rundown of the competition as in what cars were out there?

I must agree, Autocross is quite enjoyable. I remember the first time I went, said I was just going to watch, but as soon as the afternoon cam around I ended up driving and placing in the top 5 out of 14 cars.

Oh and Ad1kTed 2 SpE3d, usually a set of tires will last you the better half of a season, it would last a full season where I live and I only have 7-8 events (first Sunday of each month, March-October). It also depends on how you drive, if you drive agressively then you'll wear your tires out much faster but if you are "smooth and consistant" then the tires should be good for a while. I also drove my car with my rims/tires throughout 2 seasons and they where still good. I had nankangs and i was actually amazed to be honest, lol.

Anywho, back on topic, I must agree Meckster, you did good for it being your first time. Congrats!
