@DaDr00 That can barely be called autocross.

Ha! When we rent out the road course, we use what we can of it! The second video is what we mostly use for NASA-X.

Great run indeed! Do you have a 9" wheel? If so, what offset? +35?

Location: Zephyr Stadium
Level of AX Experience: 2
Mods & Tire: Feal Suspenion 441 coilovers, Strano front sway bar, Berk track pipe, Enkei RPF1 17x9 with Hankook RS3 V2
Notes / Comments: First time with STX setup and autocross earlier this year stock and really hated the tires. It has been about three years since I autocross with a Lexus IS350 in DS. . . . big difference in grip and trying to get rid of some bad habits since I don't have torque on demand.

Time: 40.117 seconds

[7thgear]

the last Canadian autocross regional and one of the last events for us Canadians before the snow sets in.


the day was divided into 3 groups, Street - Street Touring - Modified/Prep/Mod/whoever


the day had rolling weather and unfortunately ALL SIX runs for the Street people was done under drizzling conditions.


The other two groups got solid dry runs in and won the day


but.. if you discount the dry runs, out of all the wet runs I arguably took FTD (although technically not cuz I nudged a cone but ohh well)

Strano FSB
235/40 R1Rs


everything else stock

CSCC | SoCal | NOV (Novice) STX
Location: AutoClub Speedway (AAA)
Level of AX Experience: 1
Mods & Tire: 17x9 +45 RPF1's, Whiteline 22mm Front Sway Bar, Moto-East Tune, JDL UEL Headers, Nameless FP/OP, Raceseng Lightweight Crank Pulley, Stock Catback and Stock Dampers/Springs. 245/40 Hankooks, PSI was 37F/34R
Notes / Comments: Placed first in this event, lead the usual competition in Novice by 5 seconds this time. I laid down a pretty good time, I think, but from criticizing my own driving, looks like I need to carry a bit more speed through corners, and turn in earlier. That's just what I can see, though. I've only been doing this since March.

HAIL FELLOW NASA REGION MEMBER! From your mod list, I'm pretty sure you're still in NXD. You're right about the car being more of a momentum car. Being neutral on the throttle through slaloms and turns will make up tenths of seconds. It looks like you've got some nice smooth inputs as well!

Hahaha, way to control the power slides! Even when you spun it didn't look like you took out any cones! I'm still fighting the stock tires, but as you'll see below, I am trying to get excuses to replace them!

Really can't say much here other than awesome run! I love to see our cars at the top of results! Keep it up! PS: I want your wheels and tires.

Wet/loose surfaces are my favorite to compete on and from what I see in the video, you do too! Great stuff!

Congrats on the win! You've got some great mods to become a FTD beast! Sometimes the best critic is yourself. It's great that you have video and are able to look over it and see where you might have gained time. It was difficult to hear the throttle over the wind, but I believe I may have heard some abrupt throttle on/offs. That can upset the car and cause a loss of traction. If I were to give any criticism, that'd be it.
