    AutoX Video from this weekend.

    Here's my best run from this past weekend. There are 13-17 drivers in my class with some impressive skills and cars so its been fun and competitive. Don't mind me going into the finish a little to hot

    Nah that's how you're supposed to finish.

    What suspension are you running? Looks a bit underdamped.
    paint sucks

      it may look a little rough because that parking lot is nasty in some spots. At 45 seconds it would get really unsettled over that bump.

                Looks ridiculously fun. I can't wait to participate.

                Am I the only one who is a bit nervous about going the wrong way? There were 2 spots where it looked easily mistakable.

                I hope to have my car ready for at least one event this season.

                  You have an opportunity to walk the course a few times to get a feel for everything. The folks there are very welcoming and are up to answer any questions. This was only my 8th or 9th event so I'm still learning too. There are experienced instructors that will ride along with you and give you tips and pointers if you're just starting so its definitely worth taking advantage of. It gets addicting once you realize where you can improve and see the times get better.

                        Ha yeah you were right, they jumped up like 4-5lbs towards the last few runs. I think i was at 29 in the rear 32 in the front by the end of the day.

                          Not a bad run. Im guessing you are running a swap or is that an M20? (durh I read your sig)
                          Looks like you can look ahead a bit more and get a feel for the course. Plenty of places for throttle use out there. All in looked like a fun course.
                          How much and what tires are our running?
