So another autocross was today and it was tons of fun. Got these video from inside the car. The last one is the fastest. I know it looks like I keep going wide on the first long right hand turn but there are some cones you can't quite see on the video. Except for the second run, I did go really wide on that one, you can see me get in some gravel. Overall it was tons of fun. I got five runs, but one of the videos was to large for youtube...enjoy!

Nope my first one was about 3 or 4 months ago, and I've hit a few events since then. I placed third in my class (csp)

nice runs, course looks pretty good. why are u in CSP? even with a swap and/or crazy a$$ suspension mods, i dont think u'dbe in CSP. maybe if u have LSD but even then i think u'd be in DSP or SM.

Yeah it is kind of weird. I'm in a class more advanced than I should be I think. That is what they keep assigning me to, but I think I am going to bring it up next event.

And yeah the course was wicked. Most of them you can just shift to second and leave it, but in this one there were three downshift points, which kind of sucked, but was fun to do. The one really tight turn after the long right sweeper at the beginning was a biatch. People were eating cones there all day. Wait till I post some pics of what I used for a camera moutnt

Here's what I used for a mount. I took a 2x4, marked where the holes in the headrest were and drilled through it. With decking screws I put that vertical part on the end to give it more height and hopefully make it easier to see cones. Then I taped a normal adjustable tripod camera stand to it and put my camera on that. Worked amazingly well for taking ten minutes and costing 0 money.

Yeah we do run an STS and STS2 (it's pretty huge and has most of the possible classes), thing is if you look into the rules on the scca sight, it says that sts was intended for sports sedans. Let me see if I can find the link, but it essentially insinuates that you should have a four door to run in sts.
