First AutoX event
 

Hey guys, went to my very first AutoX event ever and LOVED IT! Very addicting. My first run was a lame 48.9 secs. By the end of the heat, my 4th run I finished at 44.3 secs. Not too bad of an improvement :happydance: I will definitely be getting new tires for the next go around and getting sway bars. I am still on OEM sway bars. Tanabe Springs are my only suspension upgrade. Let me know what you guys think!

Awesome!!!

I didn't watch the video, and btw, awesome means "you suck"

Sounds like you had a blast! Props for using the Z the way its meant to be used!

awww thats mean :shakes head:

:icon18:
I hope you had fun out there bro


Once I get new tires I'll track mine too

Oh i had a blast! Very addicting. Already lookin into ordering a new set of tires lol.

Hands hands hands!

You're racing, not driving your grandma to Sunday dinner! lol

Two hands on the wheel unless you're shifting brosef!

Glad you had fun, you looked pretty quick!

:icon18: Yeah, I caught myself about halfway through the run right before the 1st slalom lol. I couldve improved more and more but limited runs as you know lol. The loop before the 1st slalom I definitely couldve pushed much harder as I wasn't even getting tire squeal out of that loop till I came out of it on the gas. I was running ASP so there was a fully built supercharged Miata in my class that was running 41's. The other car in my class was running 42's so I'd say for my first time out, I did pretty well. There was a GTR there that was running 41.5's consistently but I know we cant compare as they are much bulkier lol.

I think you did awesome, especially for your first time out!

Good job!!! Focus on keeping hands at 10 and 2 o'clock and slide one hand over for tight turns. You'll be smoother. Look ahead. :driving:

:tiphat: Thanks Matt! I definitely plan on improving over time! Already have time off request for March 10, and March 31 for the next 2 events. Theres a run off event in April and that will be the last one till July when the new season starts :shakes head:



Thanks for the tips! Definitely don't mind it one bit from ANYONE who can help! :p I'm even now driving with 2 hands looking like a goober on the road just so I can get use to doing it lol. I can look like a loser on the street but lets see who has faster times on the track! :driving:

F all the track people, I love the driving style, that was cool as shít, lol
That's how I drive on a day to day basis!


In all honesty, can you, Shamu and Sh0velman, upload interior videos so we can see the hand thing more?

Watch a multi year national champ at work. He makes wielding 500 HP 20 b powered RX7 look easy.
