Just did my first AutoX event this past weekend... what a blast! I posted horrible times, but I did improve my time from 58.9 my first run to 53.1 my last run (average track time of about 46-49 seconds). I know I lost a lot of time to my wheels... still stock wheels, and the tread is a little bit low on them. I also lost probably about half a second every run to getting confused on one section of the course where it looks like you're supposed to go left, and not through a gate... but really, you're supposed to go through said gate, and then head left. I always started going left, and then correcting myself, and... bleh. That comes from experience, though... knowing how to read the course when you walk it... right? Last thing I know I lost time on was not pushing my car enough, and taking probably every corner a bit too wide... but then, I didn't knock over a single corner the entire day, and only had one DNF.

 

I had my 2nd autocross event this past sunday, and consistently posted lower times as I progressed -- I am indeed addicted. I have been trying to isolate my shortcomings in each run one at a time and tackle it on the next -- better positioning on certain turns, braking early, throttle control, turning into the apex, etc. One thing I've noticed about my style of driving is that I am very timid on the brakes, and I don't think I am fully utilizing them. Do you guys mash the brakes to the point of engaging ABS often on your runs?

Tomorrow I get my stock Potenzas out of the garage and put on some new SSR Comp-H wheels. I can't wait to feel the difference in doing runs in the Potenzas vs. my current tires (Avon Tech all-seasons are what I have been running on all this time).

 

^^^ Stock potenzas vs. all seasons probably not much difference @ all

 

From what I was told you wanna hit the brakes just on the brink of engaging ABS.

Had my 3rd Auto X this weekend I must be improving as a driver because I'm finding myself knocking windshield wipers and blinkers on more frequently
