went Autocrossing...

First time this season autocrossing for me. Had issues with understeer but was able to sort it out along with tire pressure changes..some pics and vids...sorry for the wind noise, forgot to tape the mic

In car...poor g/f was nauseated after this run...locked up brakes and understeered into the exit of the "bus stop" and had one cone down (2sec/cone) penalty

more to come...

Nice! you should come up for one of the TLMC events in Barrie. We put on some pretty good events, and the Molson Centre parking lot is pretty sizeable, and really open. We're looking at doing some prosolo this year as well, so 2 cars going head to head on mirrored tracks, with a drag tree

Besides, it'd be nice to not be the only FD running there.

Nice to see an FD being autocrossed - I think in the 11 years I've been autocrossing, I can count the number of FD's I've seen at events on the fingers of one hand, and not run out of fingers.
