Nice vids man. The music is kinda wierd but hey it works for me. Is that postcard on the dash?

Sorry to ask, but I just love to learn these things - Why did your car violently shake on the launch? Did the rev's bog down?

Also, I've noticed that your rear-view mirror is often tilted like that. Can you see better with it in that position? Or am I just thinking too much.

Techno music owns me The pictures are of my two little ones (Sarah and Nicholas).

The violent shake is poor motor mounts in the car.

It's tilted so you don't look back at any cones that you might have hit, which disctracts you from looking forward.

Oh man that was a good video as well. I like that first run spin out. It looked fun, almost worth the 8 seconds it cost you.

I can't wait till my first event!!!

What you didn't see in that video was the corner workers running for their lives I probably came within 50 feet of that light pole.

lol i don't even know when i hit cones until the results are posted...leather interior and a 3000lb cruise ship lets me tear up the course without me hearing one thud =)

my last run at the last autocross i went to i heard the announcer say "and aaron komsri in sts takes third" and i was thinking "hell yeah!" ...go look at the results and i hit 5 cones in the first run and 1 cone in every other run including the final run which costed me third place haha...what a sad day =(
