Looking good buddy! I love racing in the wet, definitely my favorite. Takes away the advantage from everyone running race rubber.

By the way, we have a stickied thread now for all autocross videos, right at the top of the Non-Tech section...

Cool, wonder if thread going to be there for good!? I love Autocrossing man it rocks lol Thanks. Yeah wet surface is a challenge, I had just gotten my wet/dry tires with stock gsl-se wheels and what a rush. Before that had set of welds but rubber rubbed on fender lips couldnt ever push the car to see what it would do on the streets and for auto-x have 13x10 with hoosier but one race last year it had rained and I was all over lol ppl were running from cones instead of towards them lol

I had some friends over last night, looking for some old race videos. I started digging through my archives and found an unbelievable amount of very cool videos that I had forgotten about. If I ever get a spare hour or twelve, I'll have to get them sorted and posted. Highly entertaining stuff.

But I also came across some of my old/early race videos, and man it was hard to watch them. So slow! Car squeeling around every corner because she wouldn't turn, inside wheel spinning because I had no lsd, etc. Painful! lol. Most of that was when I had either stock springs/shocks, or RB suspension.

My car sure has come a long way. Hard to believe it sometimes...

You need to post this video in the stickied thread at the top of this section. Grab the address for the actual video, and paste it into your post. That way, you get the video right here on the site, rather than having to go to Youtube and find it.

You do it just like that, only post it in the stickied thread at the top of the Non-tech section. The thread is titled something like "videos of RX7s autocrossing".
