Why do you put on your right shoe before your left or vice versa? Lol
People just do things different

Not knocking it but that's just a long way to go. I guess my perspective is skewed because I live right there

I'm considering running with the San Diego AutoX crowd, too. I just love the experience, it's exhilarating. Besides, I drive 65 miles one way for work, so drives like that I'm used to.

so here's one of my best runs from the day (forgot to record my fastest

)

I learned so much today. A big thanks to Bob for letting me ride along on Saturday and for all the tips.

I hit one cone, on my first run, which was an 81.043. By my 3rd run I was at 75.067. If I had more than 4 runs I'm sure I could have further improved. Can't wait for the next event.

Nice! That's good for your first time! I'm pretty sure you didn't see me there, because my car wasn't there, but at the Subaru dealer getting serviced (long story). But if you saw a funny Mazda 3 Sedan completely stock out there screaming, that was my rental I was driving. I ended up with a 74.6, I was pushing that car as hard as I possibly could

I had a fun day out there. The course was a lot longer than I am use to at SFR events. Ended up running 71.2XX on my fastest. Time for tires.

Kodi · 03-24-2014, 07:58 PM

sadly, i didnt make it. came down with a stomach virus. next is the Pro Solo on 4/11.

SHAMEEE haha.

Haha, like I said, for your first time, that's pretty good, I think. This was my second Autocross Sunday and my third Autocross Practice. You should definitely try to make it to the practice next time. Although, I do think that the next regular event is in May at Fontana. I won't be going to the Pro Solo in April.

Did you even have any wheels or tires? I didn't stay for the entire event, left at lunch, so I didn't get to see your runs in person.

Oh man, I wish I could've seen that car run from the outside. I was laughing so hard driving that rental. Funny thing is, those tires on that thing are fantastic at wearing. If it wasn't for the chunks of rubber missing from the front driver's side tire rubbing during hard cornering, you wouldn't be able to tell!

JB86'd · 03-24-2014, 09:28 PM

@Churg nah I was on the stock rims and tires. I'll be at Fontana on May 3rd and 4th running in the practice too. I definitely regret not running in the practice this weekend.
hopefully you'll be competing in your car and not a mazda rental

Man, I'm surprised you weren't slideways the entire time. Although, was everything off when you were running? I do the "Pedal Dance" trick and turn off all my assists when I run. My times were much faster that way.
If everything goes right, I'll have my car back on Wednesday, so I definitely should have it ready to roll, with a few extra goodies too!
