AutoX

I just went to my first autoX event yesterday in Cherry Point NC. and I had a blast. My BRZ handled like a dream and I really enjoyed it because I shut the TCS all the way off and had to actually drive my car instead of the car driving itself. I spun out a few times but you live and you learn, right. I defiantly plan on going to a lot more of these events that was some of the most fun I've ever had.

I'm a fan of using the GoPro suction cup mount on the driver side small window in the back. If you set it up correctly you can get both the course and the steering wheel to see all of the driver inputs. Very useful when critiquing your own runs. Here is one of my runs from our last event:
