It was held at Hershey Park parking lot. The cone is pointing towards the side we need to stay on through the slalom parts.

Just recently ran my 2nd autocross too. Don't worry too much about your times compared to others, just have a ball, (and it sounds like you did !) Originally Posted by HELLCAMINO

You're not speaking like an autocrosser yet... that's a "pointer cone" for a "wallom" Originally Posted by HELLCAMINO

Thanks guys.......and this is my "budget driver". I drive this beast to work on 3rd shift approximately 4 days a week (in the rain at times also). I never did a build thread (no time). It's got LS1 front and rear disc, UMI front and rear sways, Eibach Pro springs, boxed rear lowers (need the uppers yet), UMI upper fronts, braced the front lowers (ball joint strength), Jeep GC steering box. A blast to drive!

I was there on saturday! I also saw your elcamino earlier this year at one of those events (guess that was your first one). Camino looks good in person! I was driving a blue 02' corvette btw.

Yeah, I ran the July 16th event. Don't remember much since it was my 1st and was trying to keep focused on what I was in store for. Originally Posted by GNon18s
