Default First Autocross! (pics and vid inside)

Crazy fun! First run was 61.1 sec, but then cut it down to 50.1 by the time i left. The vettes were running 44-47 and my buddy ran 47.5 in his '06 GT, so i suck, but at least i was kinda close for first time... and most importantly, i had a blast

anyway, here are some pics and links to video (not very good... but better than nothing). It's an old airport runway... pretty neat.

Not bad for a first timer. But like Andros said, you can defintely cut your times by lowering it, some larger diameter sways, and a sub-frame connector and your times will be even better.
