My wife was shooting with the 'burst' mode that keeps taking pictures while you hold down the button, so I guess that's how she caught it. I wasn't going too fast, I honestly can't say how fast though, I've never caught a look at the speedo while doing an autox.

I was a pretty short course, due to lot constraints. My fastest time was a 37, FTD was 33.8 I think.

All season tires suck for autox. I need some Victoracer V700s!

Nah, just that one, the others are laying over to show the direction of turns.

This one was a bit far for you, Frederick, MD, but check out the Old Dominion Region SCCA and the Tidewater Sportscar Club for autox near you:

Yeah, I got a bunch, my wife went crazy with the 'burst' mode on the digicam:

And pics from my autox on the 12th in WV (the laser red FD belongs to a close friend and forum member, WVRx7. He set FTD at that event, I was 4 seconds off him.
