Default First Autocross Today
Went to Clemson University Autocross. Lots of adrenaline. Met a guy with a suspension modded '99, green like mine; stock drive train. He was much more experienced than I.

He ran 49's and 50's. I ran 58, 54, 54, 54, 53. Quite happy with the improvement. Still have so much to learn about driving.

Good stuff. Welcome to the club. Try to get a good instructor every-time your out for a while to give you pointers.

Are the michelin proving grounds to far from you? I may be out there on Nov 17th for a SCCA autox to try out the YCW suspension I have.
