You did fine. My first one was 4 "off courses" in a row. At least the car looks good...

Default You weren't the only one!

I would say more than 50% of the Porsche drivers went off course in the same spot! This only means that you need to get out there more often and get more seat time!

At least you didn't do THIS in any of your runs! That's what happens when you forget how slipery it is over there! I'm just glad I didn't end up in the grass! Or even THIS in any of your runs!

Only managed to get one clean run, and I made sure it was clean, even if it was slower.

Be glad you weren't the idiot that spun his M3 and went over the levee last year. Luckily, only his ego was damaged.

Are you talking about the silver M3? The driver of that car happens to be a very good autox/track driver, just because he was pushing his car and lost control doesn't make him an idiot! This could happen to anyone, specially at Zephyrhills! If you loose it it's very hard to control, there's hardly any grip, it's like a frickin dirt track!!!

To answer the questions, I love auto-X. I wish I had gotten into it before panning my wedding.

This event was at Zephyrhills Airport...

Thanks for the kind words all.

Exactly.
Everyone makes mistakes, no sense in belittling others just to grab some attention.
