Default So I tried Auto-X for the first time!

Last weekend I was at an event and got a voucher for the novice course today so I gladly joined in an had the time of my life! SOOOOO much fun!

The novice course starts you out by walking the track and then getting in your cars with an instructor. The first lap is very slow, second lap is 50%, third lap is 75%, and then all out!!! With VDC off I ripped up thru the course pretty well, or so I thought. After each person makes their 5 runs the instructor takes the wheel of your car and shows you how to push the car. I had no idea my Z was that quick lol. Then once he handed me my @ss, I got more aggressive and did really well on that 6th lap. On my next run I got too cocky and spun a full 360deg After that point my Z's oil was at 260deg and my clutch was sticking to the floor....

I let her sit for 30min or so and took another lap, by myself this time and I kept getting better and better, it was so much fun, but again my clutch kept sticking every time. I let her sit for another 30min and made two more passes, the last pass is this video I'm going to post below. The drive home was okay but my clutch still doesn't feel right at all.
