Default Awesome autocross action in brooksville!

Had a killer time at the FAST autocross in brookville, fl this past weekend. A two day event with saturday being a team event and sunday being a standard points event. The new michelins where killer out there and really helped improve my times. They were just a little slick on sunday morning with the temps being in the high 50's. For just my second time out in the C4 I think I'm doing pretty well. I'm hoping I cracked into the top ten for overall...if not, I was damn close. On saturday our team set the time of the day with a 2:13 with second having a 2:18! We pooched the runoffs and ended up fourth though.

So on with a couple of vids and a couple of pics. :cheers:

Thanks, and this just in: I cracked the top 10 in just my second autocross in my corvette. Placed 8th overall, just .307 seconds behind a modified/race tire preped 96 LT-4. I'm pretty stoked right now. I'd like to thank Michelin for making such a damn good street tire in the PS2!!!!

Greg is always telling me that C4s are the perfect autocross car. And he wasn't even trying to convince me to get one

Yeah, now if I could just get some really fat tires on her, I think I could really put on hurting on my times...or I just wouldn't be able to take some of the tight turns. We'll see at the end of the season and check if I can squeeze my budget for some wider wheels and tires. I have visions of 18x10s in the front with 19x11s in the rear. But my wallet sees michelins for $550 each for 315/25/19.
