6th Gen AutoX

http://thscc.com/autocross/events/20...-0611info.html

my first time doing an autoX - learned a whole lot - a few of my friends have been doing it for quite some time and helped out

y-pipe/cai/rear sway bar/front strut bar/endlinks

one of my runs

http://rapidshare.de/files/22833411/maxima.mpg.html

i ran a 95.x on my best run - the guys that do a lot of autoXs were running low 80s/high 70s

the results will be posted somewhat soon and i'll link to them then

Looks like fun. Talk about slalom-o-rama!!! That's the longest slalom set I've ever seen!

Here is in-car video of my car on an autocross course at California Speedway I shot on Saturday Although the wind noise is a bit loud at times, you can here the great sound of the engine.

Oh, one more thing . . . check out the surprise driver!!!!

I prefer the surprise driver to you....she's a little bit money. Wife? GF?

I'm suprised they let you hold the camera....that's generally a no-no at autocrosses for the passenger to hold the camera!

I've seen a picture of him, he's OLD, like older than Old-a$$ 30, really, really old.
He's has two kids, I am pretty sure he had both of them with him last year when he did this, I think he has son too.
I think he's stressing the fifteen because I am pretty sure in CA, that's the minimum to get you a learner's permit, so she's relatively inexperienced driving that boat.

Where I learned to drive you can still get a learner's at 15, but I think all the other by-laws back then (no motocycle endorsement for bikes under 125cc, or 50 can't remember) have gone away.
Of course I got caught driving when I was 13, but that's a different story.
