How NOT to run an Autocross
Hope you enjoy. I did! Would you belive I'm leading my region's B-Stock?
The tires were rolling over since I wasn't running them with enough pressure. You live and you learn! I had to come to a complete stop in order to not take out the finish line timer right after that.
I made up for it with a 39.957 run a couple runs later.
I love this car!

The power of understeer compells you!
Here's my attempt yesterday. Note where I'm looking and hoping the car will go, and instead, the direction its going.

Maybe it was a really big course but I was really fast!

We run a couple events in a parking lot up at New Hampshire International Speedway.... Sundays event, I ran a 35.6... sometimes they're around 30 seconds.... but you get more runs instead of just 3-4. --kC

True, we get 6 runs usually. I'd rather do that than have a long track I only get 3-4 runs on.

Yes, but at about 10 psi lower than I should have. I corrected that on the next run. The advice I got about cold pressures were from a road racer, and I'm assuming he heats his up on on a road racing track a good bit more than I do on a 50 second autocross lap. I started them up higer so they were about 33 front, 35 rear and they stuck wonderfully.
