I've found usually anything more than 8-10 runs on one course gets boring unless you have a skilled instructor giving you suggestions.

You get bored???? Sacrilege!

I never get bored...I can spend hours in the sims too...till my ass hurts.

[Wschnitz]

Ill get bored of driving maybe 3 hours in...

I have a hard time ending a day at autox. Even after 20+ runs

For the original poster I have broken 2 sets of stock new rubber engine mounts, currently running CONDOR speeds shop solid engine and trans mounts.

Breaking an engine mounts at a autocross is not that far out of the question, carefully inspect yours, before going. it could make your day end early.

I HAVE spent hours on sims. I have regularly sat glued to the computer/TV for hours on end just zoning out racing for a good 10 years. But when you have a 40 second course and you haven't improved at all in the last 3 runs it is time to sit back and take a breather or call it quits. 5 years ago I would have said the same thing, but at this point I guess I realize that after so many runs if you are not improving because you're exhausted, it is no longer constructive.

^^I say take a breather and figure out why you haven't improved.

Do you keep a log book about the runs/setup/ and weather along with thoughts of how the car is handling?

If whee30 was competitive in any one class, or if my rear end could hold an alignment, I may have. ;)

Actually when it was running the car handled very well, I had no qualms. Had no problems rotating and was very tossable, neutral and progressive, just needed a diff rebuild.

Didn't get the gopro until the car was already kaputt, so here's my fixed lens POS camera:

I'd love to do an event with that many runs! Always different things to try out, whether it be with your driving, or car setup. But I can understand being exhausted, and over taxing your car isn't any fun.

@ iwantspeed, how are you breaking engine mounts??

[Jaxx_]

I enjoy going out just to drive the course multiple times. I usually stop because of my wallet(tires) or too tired to continue, or time to go home. But I usually get my fastest run in after about 6 runs if I have unlimited amount of times to run. Usually by the third time, or at least try to... Pro status. lol

Iwantspeed's wheelin it baby
And we track our cars hard. Not one CSS engine mount failure to date- On, and off road. :D

[UNCL3AN1]

Ah man, I love me some autocross. I just wish we had better areas to have them. LHM racetrack supposedly isn't that cool because of the parking lot layout they make the SCCA use.

[Bimmerman325i]

autocross is a ton of fun. great way to hone your skills and discover the limits of your car in a mostly controlled environment.
