Holy crap you guys get long runs... Looks fun, I'd love to kill it on that course... I slalom like a beast. Did you pick up any cones throughout the day? You looked behind on a few cones and rushed during the course.

That looks awesome! I'm a beast on the slalom, so that course is right down my alley! We mostly use parking lots here, which offer a good mix of driving obstacles, but it would be pretty cool to use an airport for some increased speed. However, with such a lack of width and space, you're pretty much limited to a huge slalom course. Nice runs for your 2nd auto-x though!

when i look at the results for the people not in the novice class i don't really do very good. i def need a lot of improvement before i can get out of this class and be competitive. i do baby the car though. when i should be giving it full throttle i don't. i could be hitting the rev limiter at some spots. i don't like hitting the brakes so hard either. its got 230,000 so i try to be a little easy on it.

That's understandable. I just finished my second auto-x last weekend and I make similar mistakes. I'm trying to decrease the time I'm not using the throttle or brakes (coasting), and tighten it up around the cones. I'm still not getting as close as I could to some of the cones. It really is a fantastic sport though....

Try to remember guys, e30s need to keep momentum since they're underpowered... So, if there's a corner you have to sacrifice in (not getting the apex right) so that you're set up to get a great apex on the next turn and have a higher exit speed.... Do that.

I can't wait to autocross my e30. Just have a few more mechanical problems I'd like to fix first. The autocross in my old car was a blast though. I wish the ones I went to had courses that long. I think the longest one they had one weekend was about 42 seconds, most were only mid-30s though.
