I attended my first Autocross yesterday, and it was AWESOME!

There were three heats: I worked the first heat, rested the second, and raced the third heat. Working and resting before my runs helped me watch others and memorize the course.

60.041 - My first run felt like a calm sunday drive, only hitting VTEC once. At least I got to know the course a little better.

59.124 - I was more comfortable in my second run, but was not satisfied with my time at all. In the 10 minutes between this run and the next one, I sat in my car thinking to myself. I knew I was coasting too much, and decided to simply drive more aggresivly.

56.448 - After making alot more noise on the course, and coasting much less (more throttle, and more braking this time) I returned with 3 seconds gone! I'm getting comfortable with this.

55.388 - Fourth run was my favorite, even more noise, more aggresive.

55.104 - I took Meg in the car for my last run, and the tires were howling almost the whole time! We drifted a little bit in the first 180 turn, which was fun, but slowed us down a bit. Still the fastest run I've done!


This was a course were the best guys were running low to mid 40s (around 43 seconds, I think). I'm still slow, but it was so much fun!
