Default ACU4 Autocross, First time for the S

Well, I autocrossed the S today for the first time. Other than driving it to work a few times and the cruise yesterday, I have no other time in the S. I wasn't expecting much and ended up doing OK. There is a lot I have to learn as it is much different from my Prelude (S is a little slower) but I think with some seat time I'll do well in it. Its certainly a capable car.

If any of you want to really drive your cars I recommend at least trying autocross, its a ton of fun.

Here's a video from one of my runs. The video is a little shakey, hopefully I'll have that taken care of that for the next event. I'm using the modified mount but I think my camera is a little too heavy, causing the shake.

Oh yeah, thanks MitsukillinS2K for the helpful advice. I'm sure I'll need more if you don't mind helping.

Sorry about the dizziness. Hopefully I'll be able to correct that by stabilizing the camera and getting a wide angle lens.
