So I finally went out to Autocross my car, and had a great time. Made many mistakes, and had the car set up all wrong, but now I know what I have to improve and how to set my car for the next race. Here goes.

Basically, I was on near-bald Hankook Ventus RS2 tires, on a semi-wet track (ran 1st heat), and my sways were set full stiff in the front and full soft in the rear. That and lack of autocross experience placed me shamefully. I did 96th of 122 in PAX, losing to a prius (:'() but I placed 5th of 6 in BSP by RAW time which I hear is pretty good. That and I managed not to hit any cones, and improve my time on each run (though I did go off course on 3 of my 4 runs haha).

Here are videos.
