Autocross

This is my 6th Autocross

but it was my first time in Standard transmission, i also had bald tires, and needed a alignment from springs and shocks i installed...
I got 4th place in B Street Prepared

Well here is my video I figured I try different angles...tell me which view looks the best

P.S The camera was very noisy so I replaced with some music enjoy..

Looks like a very open and confusing course. They should have more directional cones, as well as pointer cones for the slalom.

^Yeah, I agree. Maybe it's just the video and it was easier to see in person, but I was pretty confused at one point during the first run. It's definitely a course I'd want to take a walk through before driving.

I like the front bumper view the best. An in-car-out-the-windshield view would be good too (mounted right inbetween the two front seats), and a wide angle roof mounted view would be cool as well. The one where it's pointing into the car from outside is trash

Quite common actually. Optional just means you can enter from either side.

we have optional slaloms all the time, but 90% of drivers all figure out that one way is better and go that way. the other 10%... well... last month we had a NON optional loop and still had some chick decide to go backwards... then stop halfway... put on her blinker, 3 point turn, and turn around.
