PCA Autocross Race Video. 3/15/2015. I gave it my all, but the Porsche GT3 had more. I usually run a bigger rear sway bar, but I didn't want to change it from my A street setup. A little toe change and Hoosiers had the car still working pretty good. 2nd. overall out of 95 cars.
We have another dog too. "Zac" Our gray one "Fancy Pants" has been feeling under the weather lately and this might be her last event. Let's keep our fingers crossed she makes it to the next event March 28th.

Looks like fun! Your courses are pretty open with a lot of wide sweeping turns, that plays right into the Z06. Do you have a lot of miatas, S2000's, and civics that run?
By comparison, most of the venues around me are much smaller and have a tighter course.
I have Good Guys "all American Sunday" this Sunday and then I am running in the Texas Optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge on the 28th. I won't be competitive but I probably won't be last either. I am really looking forward to getting some good instruction and all the seat time.

Sorry to hear about Fancy Pants 
I autocrossed for about 6 years and got tired of it, too little seat time on our small lots and too many Mini/S2000/Miata courses. You have the opposite of Cone Hell
Your lines look good, looking ahead is good... I never liked getting my forearms crossed up during turns, don't recall if that was personal preference or something an instructor told us. You got a little behind on the steering as you progressed through the slalom near the end of the course. Was the GT3 in the same class? If not, how did your PAX compare to the GT3, or do they not use it in PCA? What is that object which appears wedged between your center console and your right arm?

That slalom at the end was not evenly spaced. The 3rd and 4th. cone was much closer together then the first two. The 5th. cone was spaced more the the forth. The GT3 was modified. SSP class. Mine is stock. SSR SS. We both had Hoosiers A6's. I out PAX him if this was an SCCA event. That object you see was a wood stick with foam on it. I had another piece of foam on the left side between my shoulder and door panel. Just an experiment to help hold me in the seat. It actually worked pretty good. Needs some fine tuning.
Here is the video of the GT3. He's a good friend of mine.
