First Autocross Posted by nateh89spg [Email] (#563) [Profile/Gallery] (more from nateh89spg) on Sun, 18 Sep 2011 14:41:30 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Competed (well... attended it probably the better word) my first autocross experience with my SPG today. What a blast! Took 2 runs with an instructor, the final six solo. Felt smooth at times, but there was a long backstretch (which was configured to run out and back) which was too fast for 2nd (I wasn't too psyched to run at the redline), but just a bit short for 3rd (although I tried it a couple of times with mixed results). My last 2 runs were sloppy, earning me an extra second. I learned a lot about car control and exploring limits but there is so so so much more. Someones gotta finish last - may as well be me!
Still stuck in base boost, but better rubber and an LSD would make a huge difference. This could get dangerous financially.
I encourage anyone who is even a bit interested to give it a shot - you'll learn a ton.
Take Care,
Nate
