Organization / Region / Class SCCA Wichita C-Street
Location: Hutchinson Naval Air Station
Level of AX Experience: 2
Mods & Tire: Completely stock, factory tires
Notes / Comments: Placed 29/55 overall, 20/55 PAX. In the first run, you can tell I'm lacking confidence in the tires and for good reason. I've autocrossed and spun out for a year on these tires, and I know that this is almost the fastest I can go before spinning out my car. During the second run, I push the car a little harder and lose traction very easily at a low speed. I over-corrected and ended up doing a 180. However, the fun factor remains a 10/10.

Event from last year:
Organization / Region / Atlantic Region Motorsports, Atlantic Canada
Location: Atlantic Motorsports park
Level of AX Experience: 2 Years
Mods & Tire: 80% complete STX build. Feal 441s. 255/40/17 RE11a on 17x9+45s
Notes / Comments: After having a few too many the night before, this was the best I could muster. A few hiccups here and there and I was by no means tight to the cones. Overall a solid run nonetheless and netted me first overall pax.

Joey, Too difficult to see the course to be very helpful but I did notice a couple of things

1:40 seemed pretty late getting on throttle exiting the sweeper.

2:10 you could have carried a lot more speed through the pinch.

Here is my fastest scratch (65.710 plus 1 cone in the finish slalom) from that morning.

Nice run; thanks for the advice! I was really hesitant about that pinch all day. Still kinda learning the limits of the car and thought I'd push into the right side of it if I didn't lift or brake.

No problem. Now go do yourself a favor and get some real tires!
