Jan. 7th Autocross

Autocross got a temporary repreive at Aloha Stadium and 2 more races were scheduled for January, the first of which was last Sunday.

Instead of racing my BMW, on a semi-whim, I decided to try my brother's eunos in a street tire class...what a mistake. I posted the slowest times in the class by a long way. What it goes to show is that it is very difficult to just jump in someone elses car and expect to drive really fast. Especially with street tires (as I did drive that car pretty fast once at Hawaii Raceway Park with the R-compounds).

I just had absolutely no feel for where the limits were. Perhaps if I drive that car around for a couple weeks or so, I should get more of a feel for that car by the 27th, the next scheduled race. One thing for sure, it really made me appreciate my BMW. Plus that...I HAVE some thoughts on how to drive that thing faster...
