Autox Video Clips

Some video clips from an autocross we held in our local area yesterday is at:

http://www.me.mtu.edu/~jpbialas/autox2/

My car is listed as "evo" (well, duh!). We're a pretty diverse group of autocrossers up here in Northern Michigan. There are a few rally car drivers that go out to practice on the autocross course, as well as mainly track drivers like myself. I got FTD at 1:11. Have a look at the mustang clip. He got kicked out of the event for that display!

My car is classed as ESP with Tanabe springs, Cusco front camber plates set at -2.5 degrees, and Falken Azenis tires. The only engine mod is an RMR downpipe and cat-back. Body roll isn't too bad with those springs and turn-in is quite nice with the moderate-high negative camber at the front. It seems quite neutral on the track and easy to drive fast.

the evo looks nice goin through those corners. that guy with the mustang needs to spend less on his car and more on the driver.

What a tight course and cramped lot. I hope you run on better sites than that most of the time!

Actually the course is not that bad (cramp-wise). I ran it in second gear except for the final complicated S-combo, which was in 1st gear.

We used to have access to a decommisioned airport. Now that was fun! Our typical course was about 2 miles long and a bit over 2 minutes in time. Typically I'd get up to 90 mph in a couple of spots. Can't use that site anymore, though.
