Looks like fun.....for any of you autocrossers how do you learn the tracks so quick? I find myself thinking too much about where I'm supposed to turn next to really push the car or enjoy it.

Congrats! I know first hand that watching an auto-x in film or even in person is very misleading, especially on tight courses. On courses where you don't usually see more than 50-60 mph (don't get out of 2nd), it can look kinda like "so what - that's not that fast" but when you are driving or you're a passenger in the car, you know that you are at the car's limits, hehe. Looks like you did a good job out there

This is the run that brought Kevin up to 3rd in class, out of about 25 cars. His time was about .2 slower than Chris Travis.

Jasil- I Walk the course as many times as I can and try to remember the key cones. Especially for National, Divisional events which you only have 3 runs per day. So you really need to be fast right out of the bat.

trevor- local courses in my area is kinda tight with smaller lot. This lot is huge and fast. I was overwhemed on my first day with the speed. My heart was pounding so fast after my first run is not even funny.

bacalhau16- I used to drag race too. But I really enjoy autoxing and track events more so I give up drag. Well not totally, I'll still do it since I never drag my EVO.

BTW, John Winchester(kekek) the kick a$$ camera man won ESP in his EVO!
