Autocrossed today....results inside

http://www.conehunter.com/results0901.txt

My car supose to be in GS class, but since I had a intake, and stb they put me in DSPT!!! Argggg. They do not have a STS class, so that was against me. Anyways, first time out with this new car, and the tires suck! It was wet the 1st few runs, and the best I pulled was a 69. 2 runs I did 2 360s after hitting the water/lake. Car handled pretty well, responded well, but just could not get the tires to stick no matter what I tried. Plus when you have a Intergra and another Integra in your class, I am not going to win... lol!

Next time I guess I just need to strip the mods off and run in stock class.

What you guys think?

heheh ricky crow was there with his miata...and he won CSP!
I'm actually kinda sad to see how slow the CRXs were running

The Maxima is an EXTREMELY hard car to run through an autocross course. It's weight and solid rear axle rears its ugly head around ever turn. The Maxima is definitely more suited for road courses where tight turns aren't involved.

Alot of the CRXs were spinning out today as well. I didn't know you knew Ricky. hehehe. He had his Miata today. Anyways, the car did FAIR for such a course where they had some 180 turns that a big car would have to do a full turn of the steering to the bump stops to make it through. Uggg.. oh well, next time, maybe they will have a more suitable course.
