do you 'got lean'?
That is a JDM mirror yo! jk. Folding them forward gets them out of your view and you can see more cones/course. It's not a wheel to wheel competition so it doesn't matter what is behind you. Looking ahead is 90% of autoxing.
ooh, I'll have to try that mirror thing. My rear-view is currently dismounted and staying off until a cop tells me I need to put it back on. Helps me see right of center out the windshield.
It's common for autoxers to turn the mirrors down or up to avoid the temptation to look behind and see if you hit a cone. After the fact there's nothing you can do about it, except screw up the rest of your run by looking in the mirror rather than where you should be going.
we've got autocross here with a few sanctioned bodies that rent out a parking lot. Its a load of fun. I know is called gymkhana elsewhere, while not the same, its similar.
