Rattles went for his first autoX today. It sure impressed me. Even on crappy old Kuhmo Supra712, I still pulled down a pretty good time, and had alot of room for improvement. Fineshed 5th in my class, 4th and 3rd place had a 1:18, and 2nd and 1st had a 1:16. My best run was a 1:20:560. I had a long way to go, to catch the leaders. But all in all, not bad for first time out with this car...
Hoping to get some kind of video up eventually, incar mounts, and o6 recorded acouple minutes of action, and trees....LOL

Yeah, Nick, I actually made a set. I think these were why the car was so fast...LOL

Yeah, Bob was there with is Audi. But I guess he did'nt get signed up in time, so he could'nt drive. He was pretty bummed.
I've got alittle fine tuning to do with the camera mount. Its starts bouncing, its really annoying. But otherwise, its pretty sweet.
**UPDATE** Minute and a half long video of my best clean run.
You'll notice how annoying the mount is after I run(yellow cones are start/finesh). Sounds really springy and bouncy.
