Glad you can judge driving skills by watching 2 second clips.

FYI, most autocross highlights that make videos are mistakes, incase you couldn't tell by the cones flying in the air.

well from my experience, the "spirit" of autocross isn't a bunch of parked cars for a minute and a half, then sucking for the rest of the video.

oh really.

Looks like your experience was very similar to mine.

(assumed) You= 16th out of 71
5.9 seconds from first.

Me = 21st out of 71
5.5 seconds from first.

weird huh?

Now this was my first auto-x this year and the first ever with this evo. And i'm not one to pride myself on my driving skills anyway.

Hate my video all you want, But talking smack about driving skill's based on a video is ridiculous.

Before you start trash talking other peoples' driving skills, maybe you should head back to the strip and run something better than what a stock Evo almost runs. If I can pull a 1.70 60' on my 30k mile stock clutch compared to your 1.86 on an ACT, you have no room to bash others.

Work on your own skill first...and if you want to keep this on the subject of auto-x, I'll gladly wipe the floor with you on that too.

This is a video to capture what auto-x is about, not whether or not they're good at it. I could determine that from the first :05. Besides, I don't see your videos anywhere...

Nice Video. I had an intercooler blow off at a few autocrosses and track events. Luckily It was the one on the top at the throttle body. It would suck if a lower hose coupler popped off since I have a beatrush undertray.
