Nice meeting/re-meeting folks out there, I had an awesome time! If that was 50+ degrees, you can count me out of any of those Winter autocrosses. :lol:

I know he's super fast, but wasn't the winning team's average PAX like 2 full seconds faster than ours?

Yeah I think having those two brothers NOT show up and destroy everyone with a CS Miata would have been even better.

It would have been close with DJ running in the 50s, haha. Those two brothers are actually from my hometown. Funny that I'd run into them.

2 seconds? Man I should have run FSP. Would have helped us shave at least a second off our average PAX score.

Holy crap, its crazy looking at the difference of how much you were on the throttle so much in the miata versus how i had to kind of modulate more with Brads Skye. I wish i remembered to get a gro-pro hooked up so could see myself.

This was a BIG learning experience in car control for me. At first I thought the Sky was making like 250-280hp, but its actually more like 350hp...which would explain alot hahaha. Places where Taylor sounds like half or full throttle in the video i'm just barely tapping it before the tail end would kick out. It was a bullet going down that center straight though. I remember when Channing hopped in for a ride and he just starts giggling everytime I went full throttle. I had a ton of fun. Can't wait to do it again....with less horsepower lol.

The best time I was able to get was 69.744 and I was going for more off on my last run. The first couple turns felt reaalllyy good and I had better plan for the course too, I was ready and then... something happened and I made the right turn - no throttle - started getting it straight - full throttle - adjusts a bit to the right to avoid cone - back end twitches out left - try to correct (i've been doing this all day and holding it) - back end snaps the other way to the right and its all over, the car just kept going around. Ruined my last run. If I didn't lose it I think could have been a solid 68 if not 67 seconds. I WANT MORE RUNS REFRIGERATOR BOWL LETSS GOOOO!!!

Here is the video of my fastest run, 64.1xx, but I hit a cone. Lots of gear changes in an AP1 S2000 on a course with so many slow corners. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU1dfODxcUI">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU1dfODxcUI</a><!-- m -->

Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed in my expectation of instant gratification over here.
