Wow! We somehow ended up with 70 drivers today!

The course went down mostly as drawn with an added slalom along the back stretch. It was VERY fun to drive with the big question of the day being whether or not to downshift to first for the hairpin before the slalom.

Due to the large number of entries and getting a late start, we were only able to do 4 runs today. I guess that's "typical" for an autocross, but we've been spoiled with 6-8 runs for so long that it just didn't feel right.

I'll post results as soon as I get them entered into the computer. Maybe tonight.

Thanks to everyone for coming out, and especially for those who let me beat on their cars a little.

well I wanted to make it out today with my camaro, but was unable to get my sway bar back on. Battery acid leaked on to the mounting bolts before I removed it the last time, and I broke a bolt. Hopefully I can make the next event. Bye the way, is there anychance of a primus (or similar) event in the future? I would much rather run a larger course like that with my car.

There was a newer Camaro SS out today but, it wasn't running that quick. It was a pretty tight course.

I don't buy that. If an big understeering Mustang can set the 4th fastest time of the day, the course was not tight.

The Camaro was "not that quick" because it was his first autocross. And even with that, he placed 5th out of 11 first-timers.

The thing about SPC is that no matter how you set up the course, the SURFACE is still slick. It's sealed asphalt, that's just the way it is. Slick surfaces, high power and inexperienced drivers usually don't add up to quick times. Think about the traction issues you had in your car... then think about how much torque something like a Camaro has.
