The only run when I hit a cone, and that's the one you have to post? (Acutally, a run that I screw up is the best run for me to learn from.)

I love how I clipped that 2nd cone and it wobbled but stayed in the box! I knew I'd hit both of them and wondered why I was only counted for one.

BTW, after they fix the results (a couple of cars were wrongly classed) then S2000's will have taken 1st, 2nd and 4th in class G!

Yeah, I was 4th by a few seconds -- lots of room for improvement.

Bill: Some more seat time in the S and you'll be above 4th, not that 4th place is bad anyways. Your times improved every run and that'll continue. At least you just clipped a cone, I murdered one

At least for me, my first autocross driving the S2000 was way off (slower) what I could have done with my slower Integra, just because of seat time. I'm still learning the car myself at this point but am getting better with it, some track days and autocrossing has helped with that

Who here had the other S2000 in G class? I was going to ask why you were downshifting at the turn around but you left pretty quickly after the event, never had a chance. I didn't try to downshift down there and wondered if it helped your times? Seemed like the upshift would come quickly afterwards but not sure, never looked at the tach except at launch...

For the 2007 season I've got car number 2000. It just seemed appropriate!

Here's a tip I got from an ex S2K autox dude to improve your time, drive it like you stole it! When he told me that my times improved believe it or not.
that's basically what I did for my last run

Dave, your times were pretty good, plus you took 1st in your class, you should be proud!

There was a red S2000 in run group 3 that kept downshifting to 1st in a few places on the course, I never downshifted, I went into 2nd just before the slalom and left it alone!

2.5 seconds improvement! This car loves to be driven hard! I couldn't do the same with my old car, really had to be smooth with every input, specially the throttle.
