Heres some comic relief for some and embarrasment for me. Last sunday was probably the worst display of driving on my part at fedex field ever. So I took my worst run and inserted my mental thought process unrelated to the actual driving of the course for your enjoyment. Super Spin

There were a few cars that spun there... Joe B in his Z3, several E46s and E36s, a corvette, and I think a BS S2000. I short shifted therer every run but my last, and on my last run (in the video) I picked up a lot of time, but it did feel a little slippery there. I think it's all about how you loaded up the car and how smooth you were on throttle.
Don't be paranoid, but certainly be conscious of the car's weight transfer and balance.
Also, what is your alignment?

I was not happy with my driving at all. It was my first autocross on hoosiers and a non-staggered setup with the stock sways. Needless to say the car was a bit oversteery
Ended up 3rd in SSM, but I left a ton of time out there.

This season is the season of lazy. I have still done nothing to the car. Had fun though, and finally got my data acquisition to work... sorta. I'll post a video (of a slow run) if I figure out how to get it on my PC.
Yeah. I should do something about that as well. Maybe I'll finally disconnect the rear bar for the June 23/24th events. Or do the NC Miata bar setup.

I wanted to beat Chris Lin so bad.. He is such a moving target -- especially in his last run.. I picked up about 0.7 my last run, but Chris picked up a whole second on his last run. The kid is amazing.

Man, if you will win SSM class, it will be your second Championship Class Trophy from SCCA.
