I did not drive but it looked like a fun track and I did take some pictures, but missed the timing light fun :shock:

Thanks for the great pictures and videos.

Here are a couple of onboard videos from Jennifer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc655j8PDL4 and myself http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i77uKRW_82U
. The track was challenging and partly fast, but with some really tight sections were I wasn't able to put the power down. After comparing both videos, it appears that going slower and smoother thru the rhythm sections was the better choice as Jennifer did.

I thought my old tires would be good enough for the autocross :shock:

Thanks for the great video. But can anyone explain what Keith has done that causes cones to flee in terror at the very sight of his car?

AH HA!! Now I know how two whole corners seemed to just jump out from in front of me and swirl around and around. Damn, there were so many cones in the air at once that I had cone scuffs on the TOP of the car! I just KNEW is couldn't be MY fault...... :oops:

Me too! Boy was I wrong. This is what happened to my right rear during timed runs. I had no grip all day, and then it got worse. :(

Wow, I bet that down in TJ they couldn't even make huarache sandal soles out of what's left of your tires :D
