Default Autocross at Buckingham

Well, I did it...my first autocross with the STi.

It was held down south near Ft. Myers at Buckingham Airfield. The course was laid out on an active runway (and man, was it fast!) and was actually an air force base from WWII.

I did the novice school and practice on Sat. 11/4 but did not stay for the main events on Sunday. I got tons of runs on Saturday and was pretty much middle of the pack time-wise. I was pretty stoked for it being my first time.

Below is a link to some pictures (I'm in the Blue STi #443). Had a great time.

That thing is a beast!

The owner was pretty tentative with it though. It still had the temporary license tag on it.

crazy that someone would autcross that. If the autocross track was fast then those Zo6's must have been hard to keep with.
