On my last outing with old tires and wet pavement on a tight course I learned a lot about being smooth. :) I hit a few cones during the day, on the right in right-hand turns. Actually I take that as a good thing, since my habit is to give them too wide a berth. This is my first attempt at making an Autocross Video.

PGR? No - what is it?

PGR = Project Gotham Racing (power of Google)
A cone is 2sec penalty, universal I believe. So in a sport where win and loss is decided by thousands of a second, it's huge. turned on? My head got dizzy after watching =) |
Project Gotham Racing, it's a racing game for Xbox. In part of the game you have to do laps around tracks with cones setup, it's setup just like autocross. You get points (Kudos) for not hitting cones, drifting, and driving fast. It's a game that's gotten a lot of hype becuase of its graphics and gameplay.

Though was the IS/VR (Image Stablization/Vibration Reducer) turned on? My head got dizzy after watching =) I used the setup similar to the one in this thread: https://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php...6&postcount=86 |

My plan was to use an RC helicptoer and videotape my runs from a birds eye view. It was that or RC blimp.... but i dont think any league will ever let me do that. -hS |

I have already said too much.
The birds eye view thing was my key plan to take over the world of autocrossing. Well, that and strippers... awww, once again i'm giving away too many secrets. SILENCE!!! |
Seriously tho... all you would have to is have a sensor in the center of the cone, and sensors on each of your fenders... now a days this technology is getting cheaper, and not so hard to work with.

With a sensor in each cone, you'll need a lot of spares as they get crushed. :D:
