    So i went autocrossing this weekend...

    And it was pretty fucking fun. Couldn't run the car too hard sadly, due to a nagging oil leak that pop up after my first run. But i was able to get a cone worker to take a few pics... just for the people of R3v:

















    Sorry nothig too special here. I'll take better next time :pimp:

    First time?

    Be careful, it's a slippery slope.

                Just make sure to read through all the rules b4 you show up. They'll have random little things they'll want. I'd never even think of some of them.

                      I just did my first event as well, and definitely need more practice. And, it rained for the actual timed event. (we have practice Sat., then official times on Sun. I'm assuming most clubs do it this way.) I'm hooked, definitely.

                          i think the class would be novice if its his first. Im heading to my first 3/10/2009 actually...

                          i cant wait! was it SCCA? did they do a tech inspection? how intensive was it?

                            Tech for most groups isn't too bad, jst a tug on each wheel to check for loose supension bits, check brake pedal feel, look for a solid battery tiedown, no iffy catchcans or wiring, no driver's side floormat, nor loose stuff in the passenger compartment.

                              Be careful. I think autocrossing is a gateway drug.

                              The next thing you know you'll be building a dedicated track car.
