IDK. I didn't see anyone running in the wrong run group but I didn't check that closely. Obviously its discouraged for this reason.

It was great weather, good company, and the realization that I need to do some more work on the car. The highlights of the autocross in general were the huge turnout, and the truck (yes, truck!) and Lotus Europa.
Overall, a pretty good day.

I see the two white BRZ twins. It was nice meeting you @Where'sReverse? and your husband. You should come out to the Sacramento Monthly meets.

You don't really need the suspension, just the tires and the Front swaybar + crash bolts for more front camber. Your run looked pretty good, but you do need to tuck it in tighter with some of those cones.

Don't be jelly! We only get to use that venue once or twice a year

Its actually a police training facility.

Yeah for some reason i havent gotten used to the FR-S's size yet. I always seem to be further away from the cones than i think i am while driving. need MOAR practice lol

My vid from today! That was my best run, a 58.3

I find I can locate the cones REALLY well on the driver side, not so much the passenger side. I was really able to get close on some of the corners today and cut the apexes nice and tight.

I'm glad we had such a good showing! Sorry I had to bugger off so quickly, had a few I-clubbers I was going to the Detail Maniac meet with and they waited for me to finish working the course before taking off.

Nice job Kosta, so that's what I did wrong lol. My fastest run today was 63.457. One big factor are the Primacy tires because on corners where you're able to floor it I had to lift because the rear would start slide.

BTW is that a cell phone you're using to record? What kind of mount are you using. I have the cell phone mount but it gets shaky on rough surfaces.

Yeah, even my Pole Positions were holding me back quite a bit. I checked pressure and the fronts were at 40 hot and i was still rolling on them. Had no front grip at all. I only ran 36psi hot by the end of the last event and was getting faster as I dropped it down each run. I Need to hurry up and get more front camber.

Ya just a cell phone. I need to try and reduce the shakes with this mount... its a DIY headrest mount with a gimble mount and little phone attachment.

My spin on Saturday that caused the dent

Nice I'll need to check it out next time.

BTW the gif of your car getting the dent looks like you were just doing donuts on course.
