Got up nice and early for an AutoX on Saturday, heading east meant I got to watch the sunrise... not a bad way to start the day, though it was a bit chilly!
...and about an hour later, I arrived at AutoClub Speedway!
and the wonderful backdrop of the track
We were in the first run group, so no messing around. Lets get right to it!
We were going to use the GoPro on the runs, but for some reason it wasnt really cooperating so all we have is sideline footage. I'll see if I can make it worth a view. Heres one pic from a run
The helmet cant hide the smile post-run!
Overall, the car ran great! A couple of the sharp turns were draining the carbs and hurting the runs, otherwise it was a blast. The tires are also beginning to show their age, but they still got nicely heat cycled and should be good for the remainder of this year. I think I will do some more autox's this year as it was fun and I dont think the car will be ready for the big tracks... yet!...
