Default BrakesPros.com K20 CRX at Zephyrhills Auto-X - Videos Inside!

This event was our first time to really drive the car at any sort of speed, we have spent weeks working on the car and hauling it around to our sponsors to have work done preparing it for its first race. We had no idea what to expect out of the car in all aspects. I had never driven an auto-x event, never driven a CRX and never driven a K20 powered one at that! Overall, we were EXTREMELY pleased with how the car performed and we cant wait to get it out to the track again to keep improving on it and get some seat time! Enjoy the videos!

Our fastest run was our last run, run 6 at the PCA vs. BMWCCA Auto-X in Zephyrhills, FL. 12/11/11

8th Overall fastest for the day out of roughly 50-60 cars.


Thanks to our sponsors!

Our first run, things were a bit slippery early in the day! Had a little drift action in the CRX. There were tons of cars spinning in this corner, tons of action!

This is by far my favorite shot of the day, motor sounds healthy, it was a solid run and it gives you a great sense of speed!

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Thanks! And No fair, you had an advantage! haha! Just kidding, we were very happy with what we accomplished the first time out with the car, there were some really great drivers out there too. After watching the last group run and watching the videos of our runs, I feel confident I could have shaved close to a second off our time. I overshot the back U-turn causing a slight understeer running wide on my fastest run and I was shifting into third in some areas where the car still had more rpm to finish out the section and I could have pushed it harder through the first section too. Cant wait for the next track day!

All in all, we had a great time out there with you guys, we hope to join you for some more events in the future! We want to get this car out on the road course where we can really stretch it out!

Dear Santa,

I want a GoPro.

I've been a good girl to my cars. Okay so I took the Bratz Toy out on slippery tires but without the kone my time wasn't all that bad. I'll let him on the good tires next time.

So, will there be a GoPro in my stocking?

I'll leave extra cookies!
