I picked up AAA in 2007 when I was traveling around to the SCCA Solo Divisionals. Since then, I have needed at least one tow each year, plus I get discounts at hotels and so on. Granted I drive an older car than you guys (1993), but it is a good investment, especially if you are autocrossing and/or tracking.

Glad you made it ok Emad,
He had a problem with his clutch pedal going to the floor and it was not moving the pressure plate.
Here is my best run. First time to mount the camera like that from the side. I like the angle and I think next time i'll move it a little forward and be able to see even more thru the front windshield.

man watching your guys' z's go around these corners impresses me so much. your video looks SO much faster! your cars just seem to respond so much more, makign me think i def have some understeer issues. I cant take alot of these hard turns at the speeds you guys are taking them at... which is where i'm losing 4 secs off you!
especially going into the first box before the slalom, you guys just cruise into there, I was having to really try hard not to hit it at a high speed and get cones...

More viewing pleasure,
I lined up chris' vid and mine and took a screen shop of them. Lost a lot of quality but its interesting.
I had a terrible start, I think I lost 1/2 sec or more right there compared to Chris. The perfect run is still hiding out there somewhere
Its best to go to youtube and watch it on full screen.

Emad just whats your full setup. Tire size, shocks, sways, alignment?
I thought your first box line and speed looked about the same as mine. You were on the gas early and flowed thru with minimal distance traveled.
A tight line when your slow will be better them pushing wide, even if it doesn't feel faster.

^^ This was nice to see side by side.
I lost some time in the slalom and thru that Box after the 1/2 circle...by then you were way ahead of me.
I know the slalom's always slow me down....but I thought I did good thru them on that day.
Good comparison!

holy crap did you see how much time i lost in the slalom compared to you? but how come that one cone looks so far to the right on my video? you killed me around the slalom and the box before it.. i gotta lose some weight on the car haha and also tweak some stuff.

I pulled ahead in the second section. The first set of slaloms we were close. Did you notice that second set looked like gates but was really just an addition straight slalom section?
