Solara, Me, and Autocross

well, I went my second time autocross.
the reason i didn't post this in Race thread is because, i sucked... :roll:

Anyhow, It was a really beautiful day, and i really enjoyed the racing.
eventually the result will come once I learn how to drive...

nice vid Tacti....... but I can't believe you ran with those tires.....they are too expensive for autocrossing

dude that looks fun
i think id probably understeer off the course though with my pedal mashing driving habits!

Very nice tacti!
I'm going to have to look into autocross next year and see if there is anything local for me. I'de LOVE to go and watch one and then be apart of it the next time.

no, that is not 20"s I usually wear.
that is my old 18"s and had cheap Kumho tires.
they don't stick at all, and you can see i'm understeer everywhere.
but, you know, it's so much fun, and fairly safe since worst thing i get is corn mark on my bumper..

1. stiffen up the rear bar bushings
2. battery in trunk
3. reduce rear tire pressure 5 lbs.

not bad tacti, this course was set up entirely for speed. It was bad. We drive a 1st gen MR2, and we didn't do well also, so don't worry. Its a power hungry course. It will be better next time.

Thanks for props!

so, were you there?
when i had the course walk, i thought that i saw you, but since i was with someone i couldn't stop by.
i looked for you during the event, but since i didn't see you, i though maybe it was someone else.

and yeah, the course set up did not match with my ride.
the short straight part was not long enough for my turbo to kick in....
well... it's just my excuse... lol

anyways, if you come to the event, hope i can see you then.
