recent autocross videos

Howdy folks.  I did my first autocross in a few years, and thought some people may be interested to see the videos.  I made quite a few obvious mistakes, mainly because I got a bit too confident after my 2nd run and I pushed it a bit too hard.  It was fun, but slow.  I also think I may have an exhaust leak that may need to be fixed sad.  It seals up from the heat after the first slalom, but it was quite obvious from within the car.  I placed first within my class, and also last.  Apparently the numbers have dwindled quite a bit since I last raced with them.  Nobody else was in ESP.  sad

Re: recent autocross videos

Yup, was pretty much all in 2nd gear.  I only downshifted once after I took the turnaround far too hot and pushed wide.

Re: recent autocross videos

also - is it wet?  I couldn't hear the leak - I just thought your car sounded great (sigh, Linear  sadbanana ).

I'm not an expert, but you seemed pretty relaxed and methodical.  Thanks for the footage (so to speak) big_smile.

Re: recent autocross videos

I was about to say that I couldn't even hear the leak, and I was sitting in the car with you on a few runs....But I did hear something. I only heard it on run 4 though. I iz noh x-pert on dis kinna stuf, so me aint no wut yo prob iz. I am also gonna say that the only..  shifty... reason why you beat me was because you were on slicks, ANNNND because you don't have the red hazard button.

Re: recent autocross videos

Your JDM hazard button canceled out my slicks.  You then had a 0.5L advantage on me.  You should have won.
