My first autocross!

[ponchopwr70]

Well I finally went to my first autocross and I'm hooked. I was the only real muscle car there other than a 80's camaro. I took 3 instructors for rides and they could not believe the car. My best time was 69.5 compared to a stock g-8 that ran a 68.4 with a very good driver with many years of experiance. I don't think I pushed the car as hard as I could of, looks like I need more seat time. I'll be going to another one on fathers day if anyone in the new england area wants to go. I should have some pics in a few days also.

I ran my first one at Chevellabration and also caught the bug. Trying to get lined up to start doing it more often.

Thanks guys! I need practice though. Every lap I went faster, first lap was 81.5. I spoke with Marc from SC+C yesturday and Im going to leave my car alone and just get some experience under my belt. MrQuik Limerock raceway is kinda close I think 2 to 2.5 hours away. Might try going this fall.

So, did you go again for father's day? How'd you do?

[ponchopwr70]

Ha, I canceled out on it. It rainned all weekend wouldn't have been much fun especially with the drag radials. Next one is July 12 which I will make that one. I did install spc lower control arms this weekend though. The next time I go I will have a better alignment, corbeau trs seats and schroth harness so if I get the cojones to drive harder I should be good.

Not sure about the drag radials... but some of the most fun AutoX have been in the rain. You should have at least gone to watch.
