Default Some Autocross Action

I didn't have the vette this past weekend in action, as I towed the trailer for the event that day, but I got to take an exhibition run in the tow pig. So, whoever I told that it'd be hard for their Chevy SS to make it around the course, I just proved myself wrong...and the FAST autocross school is just a month away if anyone is interested (Sat, March 12th).

Tim's modified '96 LT-4 that'll be up for sale soon. Heck of a machine.


How about an XXL Vette?


And me in my '89 BAGGED, C1500 ext cab. Oh, and I wouldn't have come in last had I had an official time, 64th out of 72 to be exact, with just one run mind you. Could have dropped a solid 1.5 seconds with a few more runs and honing my line and throttle.

If I could make a suggestion you guys need to have your windows up. I had a gymkhana in Ft Wayne, IN maybe 40 yrs ago in Lincoln Life parking lot. A guy rolled his Nissan? and crushed his arm. Very dangerous.

A lot of organizers actually require that you have the windows down unless it's pouring rain. Both hands should be on the wheel, even during a rollover. These days though, in a properly setup course, it's VERY rare to have a rollover. I haven't heard of one over the last couple of years.
