My first time ever i have ever done a course run. got there late(cause iam black of corse) and missed the track walkthrough and the pre race briefs.(wont do that again) the event was fun and i know how to read the cones in the salom .(yea)and heres my first track run...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBtPAO4vp_c

wow man, sorry dont mean to flame, but that was really bad.

watching made me feel... weird.. It's like i've got cone course ingrained into my head so much that it feels weird watching that in first person. lol. It's like watching someone who's never used the internet before, you just want to take the mouse away from them! lol.

I Only got to watch the first vid, Youtube says they are doing maintenance and i cant currently watch the others.

I'm surprised they let you go out without an instructor for your very first time, and on top of that, I'm actually surprised they let you enter for the day with missing the drivers meeting and course walk. Drivers meetings are mandatory.

We usually have instructors ride along for first timers.

It was even an SCCA event? I'm disappointed in your event organizers.

Well put!

I'm sure you learned a hell of a lot about the cones and what they mean. Next time will be 10X easier. Good for you for getting out there!

That first run was terrible! You're a good sport for posting it up. Good luck at your next autocross!

I know the feeling man, I've only auto crossed about 5-6 times so I can still remember my first day. Its very frustrating not knowing the course. But I always watch every one else to get a good idea of the course. Watching a fast (time wise) loud car is always good too.

What tires do you have? I know last time I went autoxing I had a KA and all seasons and i hated it. It understeered like crazy.

Nice looks like your going to be spending alot of money on tires brakes and suspension soon. It's very addictive. Here's my last race of 09 (after 1:57 or so i forgot to turn off the camera)

I see you were at the lincoln air park! I'm actually the solo chairman for that region. I'm also doing an RB swap, and am about to start ordering the final things to drop mine in. If you want to lend me a hand dropping it in, i'll give you all the pointers you want on autox :P

I'll PM you my number, just give me a buzz sometime.
