Tips are appreciated! Big question: do you recommend me leaving VDC on since I'm a newbie? |
Maybe for the first run, you can't learn anything other than where you are going on the course with the VDC on.

For the first run it will be just fine as you will be mostly focused on staying on course rather than trying to go fast. Turn the VDC off as soon as you feel comfortable or start to feel it intervene more than you think it should (like run #2). Tomorrow is SCCA if I'm not mistaken. Too bad you didn't sign up for ours instead, you would have got a lot more seat time to learn. |

Good luck getting help from SCCA, not a great place for beginners. I personally didn't get better until I got out of them and joined the locals instead. I made my one and only two hours drive for autox this year, no way I am getting up at 6AM for those things again.

If you look on motorsportreg.com you will see 3 clubs that I run with. Those are NE-SVT, TCUSA (Track Club USA) and BSCC (Bay State Corvette). These 3 clubs are for the most part run by the same people just attract slightly different cars aside from the core group. They are all very novice friendly and have plenty of instructors on hand. The car count is kept low in order to keep the number of runs high. They also typically run a longer course than SCCA. Here's today's video: |
It looks a lot more technical and faster than what I did last weekend
0911 AMEC Autox 370z - YouTube I need that mini pike at the start too to chase people! |

Here's what our course was like in the wet. I was still on slicks hoping it would dry out. |
Haha, yeah. I think it had a total of 8 turns or something, but what are you going to do with a short oval and no timing system that allows it to run two cars. It was fun nontheless, haven't hit 79mph at an autox since Thompson
Nice run in the rain |
My first autocross event was today. SO FUN.
http://www.the370z.com/members/eazyd...autox-370z.jpg It was the SCCA Attack of the Cones Event #8 at the Devens Airfield in Mass. I was listed as first place in Novice class and then for whatever reason they later disqualified that fastest lap. I still don't know why. For an hour or two I was thinking I would walk home a hero with a trophy. :shakes head: Still had fun though :) Oil temps were fine, stayed in the top of second gear the whole lap. EDIT: Yes, that's a the370z.com decal on my quarter window - and yes I wore my the370z.com t-shirt today :tup: Video coming soon... |
It's SCCA, someone probably protested over your sticker. (I am not joking either)

SCCA takes down the data in 2 places, both on the computer and by hand. It is possible that when they were correlating the two that they found a cone. |
The wet run looks even more fun than the dry one :). Nice traction recoveries there, especially that one near the beginning.
