Thumbs up My First AutoCross... Today!!!-Updated w/ Pix!!!

Today is my first autocross and I'm leaving right now to go get my swerve on!!! hehehe wish me luck... pictures on the end of the day















I changed my TenzoR-Shu4 18" with my steelies and I got good acceleration and all but by god that was a horrible tire when making turns...

Morning Laps
run1---66.049---DNF
run2---60.224
run3---59.878
run4---58.181

Afternoon Laps
run1---56.215
run2---56.010
run3---55.003
run4---53.900---+1(hit 1 Cone)

there's like 11 cars on my class... and I think i'm 9 or 10 ... well everyone else got some performance wheels and tires, but me and the other 7thgenner (Sam) got some steelies on

Man I need to get better tires than the one I got on my steelies, I can go faster, but my tire's just too soft... not an excuse or anything... but my brakes needs to be changed, the calipers needs to be changed too some slotted maybe better, and thinner and wider tires... and next race is on!!!

more pix to be posted...

pnoyster2k1cvic and Cwsl02 were duking it out all day... Not sure wich one won out though. It was great to see some people from the borads show up. I ended up 1st, but I'm sure they dont want to hear that.

Our next event locally is June 13 at the Sunset Station Casino, its a night event so we can race when its no 110 out.

^^^ Talking about some "road rage" and "anger management" at the same time, and it was hella fun! I never had so much fun with my ride until today!

after the race, man I can see the traffic go in slow motion i swear to god! I can't wait for the next race... June 13
