Nah, not dangerous at all, at least compared to most motorsports. As Pete mentioned, courses are designed to keep cars away from hard objects, even if you spin. The series is intended for folks who have never tried this sort of thing before, so safety is paramount.
And you're quite right, many people were over-driving those last two corners. It was one of those places where you could never make up much time but you sure could lose a lot with grinding understeer. It's just so tempting to try to put the power down when the finish line is within sight.

Glad you enjoyed the ride. As I mentioned to you, that run was pretty uninspiring, my afternoon runs got a bit better. My passenger seat is always open for any FT86Club member who wants to see what autocross is like from inside the car.

Aww shucks. :blush: Don't forget, you had me beat at midday! Good competition all round.
For the curious, results can be found in the MCO forum here:

Edit: Some great pics you've been posting Mike! I hope you didn't get "escorted off the property" for taking the latest one on Canada Day.
Your plate is going to end up in the police watch list!
