true, true. did you have fun? that's what you gotta ask yourself at the end of the day when you and the car are tired from some cone killing.
if it makes you feel any better, my first autocross was a joke, of course. i took my stock accord out there and lurched all over the place. i felt like i was trying to ride a blind clydesdale with asthma....no skill at all. but hey, i learned from it and did good next time i went out.
My first four autocrosses I posted really good times and never hit a cone, never got any help from anyone and none of my friends were there. The fifth autocross my friends were there......hit every cone on the course it seemed. At the end of the day I fucking got annoyed so decided to go crazy and just go buckwild on the last run.........................
I come through with what seemed like a good run and purposefully locked up the brakes and took out like half the cones in the stop box (not purposefully hit half of em, maybe 2) Then they usually call it off course or whatever, but they were like surprised. They told me I had a 28 second run, fucking unbeleivable because it was the same time the top car which had slicks and everything had. But it didnt count cuz I hit all the cones and was stupid and wasted it.
Nevertheless, my friends were there and I now have tons of respect from them. I havent once been made fun of for my driving now....lol
