Well guys, you asked for in-car video of my car on an autocross course and you got it!! Here is video I shot on Saturday of my Maxima driving on an autocross course. 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!!!!

that is mad crazy deus, Car sound sweet and you also have a daughter wit some skills. wish i could see you car in person.

 

my post in the autoX forum

 

I wish you were my dad... my dad is against me doing anything to my car. I remember when i tinted my tails he was like wat the F**K.. but I think hes starting to care less now that i have a good amount of bolt ons

 

heh my guess would be because you are 17 and he doesn't want you to wreck his car b/c kids don't appreciate free cars as much as ones they bought themself

 

Great way to teach kids car control that they can use out on the street. I feel all kids should be on a roadcourse or autocross track to learn control. I just instructed a couple guys last weekend on a roadcourse and they are so much better and safer drivers after one day then when they first hit the track.

 

Nice videos. Wish they had a place here to do that. Your daughter will be a pro soon.

 

Thanks for the comments guys. She is 15 yrs old, by the way, and that was her first race. Also, remember, the car is a 6 speed manual.

For those of you who want to learn to drive, note her hand position on the steering wheel. Her hands mostly stay around the 10 and 2 o clock position, and shuffle to make the turn, no hand over hand. Also, note her head position. She doesnt tilt her head in the turns. By keeping your head level, you can drive more precisely.

Sorry if I am boasting a bit. Can't help it sometimes, lol.

 

Holly s*** that was amazing! You sound like a good "coach!!!!" A patient one too, none of the "damn it what'd I tell you!?" I see a future racer in your family deus!

 

Very smooth and relaxed for a first time. Except for that left hander before the slalom, she had good car position all around and never had to jam the brakes. Telling her often to accelerate meant the car was where it needed to be already. Soon she'll be coaching you

 

that's interesting, have to try that next time.

We actually do have such events around NYC. I might organize an auto-x meet on nycmaximas, if people will demonstrate enough interest. But I have to get done with my engine cleaning first.

 

Actually her inital position before the slalom was good, but her turn in was not good (late) which is why she had trouble getting around the first slalom pylon. I told her to accelerate often because she hesitates to accelerate, whch she will learn over time. Frankly, I didnt want her driving too fast the first time out, but I do want to have her learn the acceleration points.

I dont think she'll be coaching me in the near future, but if she gets to that level, Ill be loving it!!!

 

Cool video

 

Ubelievable, Deus you're something.... and your ride...I;ve said it before IT'S AWESOME.

My brother is asking what kind of rims you have on the car???

 

Deus, awesome video, that is exactly what I will do with my daughter when she is old enough to drive, happy Fathers Day and thanks for sharing...

 

These are A-Tech bronze rims, size 18x8 weighing about 19 lbs

Chern: Thanks very much. Happy Fathers day to you too!!! Im gonna go look at the header thread now
