2012 events have started, and so have the videos.


My area runs a slush series all winter long, and the last one a week ago actually was pretty miserable. We had a bunch of snow that started to melt, but then it all froze up the night before the event so badly that it was hard to walk without slipping and falling. We couldnt have workers on course, so we ran exhibition runs for the morning with no time and no one to chase cones. By lunch, the driving line was mostly thawed. After 1 hour of lunchtime shoveling by 10 volunteers, we had a wide driving line and could continue with the timed event.

Anyways, thats the long intro into my video.

nice you fixed it, thanks.
at 43 seconds you can see i pulled a one hand turn around. i had the hardest time with this element. it was a 4 or 5 cone slalom right into a turn around and another 4 or 5 cone slalom out. but the turn around required a down shift.

Intake, header, exhaust, camber plates, koni yellows, h&r race springs, svt rsb, torsen lsd, 4:06 gears, short throw, cage, gutted, sparco evo 2 seat, g force 5 points. I wish I had interior in it so I can run it in SMF like my other car.

Here is a collage of some pics a relative of mine took of me and my car at one of the last auto-x's I was able to make it to. Wasnt able to run any more that summer due to money issues, then the car broke, and I'm just now getting time to finish getting it back together. But it is coming back with more goodies than before. I'm going to need all I can get if I wanna beat my buddy's 89 SHO. :D

well, not a auto-x exactly, but i did go to a rally-x recently.
this car is a total POS Escort GT i bought for $100 and added some gravel rally tires.

Nice run, very smooth. Figuring out left foot braking can take some time and work. But it is well worth it.

First autocross in my 2011. I took second place in H Stock so I think that's pretty good for my first time out in FWD. It had also just rained and the course had lots of puddles. I was 2nd to an AWD Suzuki SX4, lol. Cheater!

Had my first autox of the year and what a blast it was. i forgot to turn on the camera for my fastest clean and dirty runs. here's a vid of my second fastest run.



6th pax, 16th raw out of 60 drivers.

I got a needless cone on my fastest run that would have got me 2nd in pax[scream] I'm an ok driver but the pax for stf makes me look better than i really am [8D]
