First time out after so many years away. It was a fun auto-x, but very tight, so I took it extremely easy.

Enjoy!

Not quite! Must be an exhaust leak

Wow, that's the slowest a/x I've ever seen. Odd to have it in a parking lot full of real obstacles too. What speeds are you getting up to?

lol - I'd be surprised if we got 25 mph. 30 tops.

man, I guess I'm just lucky. I redlined 3rd gear at my last auto-x!

PCA-Orange Coast Region all the way

Hearing the V8 in that chassis is wild though

Yeah, getting a lot of gear would be fun, although when I go to an autocross, I'd rather keep the speeds down to, lets say, 2nd gear speeds of a standard 4 cyl - that way you are fighting the wheel a lot more

Your car seemed to handle pretty well even with all that weight upfront. Congrats!


That's the smallest and most dangerous autocross course I've ever seen.

yeah, it handles really well. They did a good job with that. And those are really old tires, so I expect to do better with new ones.

That was a horribly tight course - that's honestly why I was not going crazy. Just out to take a stroll - too tight to want to go near 10/10th's.
