Default 4-8-07 Autocross pics and video

It was in the 30's, and I am on a whole new suspension setup, but I love the new coilovers. They make you feel very confident and push you to go faster. I was getting a bit out of control because they are so planted you must go faster. I could use a bit more rubber under me, but thats not going to fix what I need to learn (driver mod).

I feel I did very well. My best time of the day in the measly 3 runs I got was a 49.6 sec. I think fastest time of the day was a low 48 or high 47. I am slowly getting better at driving and think its only time and experience before I can start to really challenge some of the fastest runners there.

Enjoy.

I havent yet, but it is a goal of mine this year. In missouri its just finally getting warm enough for the season to start up. It was mid 30 degrees that morning.

Yeah, this is a parking lot of a baseball stadium... It is residential, but I guess the SCCA chapter has permission to use...

The FTD's are usually made by a 1999 TransAM on koni's with 315 series wide hoosiers on all 4 corners Also we have a couple spec miatas that dont do too bad at all. S2000 or two usually up there also.

man, that was a pretty quick course, looks like it was fun.

good job. next time work on turning in behind the cone rather than when you are passing it. should let you post even quicker times and carry more speed.

that's not a residential area, try find a lot in new england, most places are smaller.

You will get a lot better view if you shoot the camera from further back and higher.

And how come every Z is silver?
