This weekend was the North Carolina Auto-X Championship. My local club won this year and I won C-Prepared. It probably helps that I was the only C-Prepared car that showed up, But whatever...Right?

The first Day was of course an absolute disaster. The course was wet, I couldn't get my straight and ended up with 2 DNF's (Out of 4 runs), Went really slow on my 3rd run just to calm my nerves down and had a OK Time on my 4th run.

The Second day, Went a lot better. My first two runs were clean and relatively quick. My 3rd run was a lot faster, But I Nailed a Cone. My 4th run was of course the fastest but yet again...I nailed a Cone (You can hear it in the video and I of course point it out as well). This car needs a set of Race Tires, Plain and simple. A CP car on street tires is just never going to be very competitive in CP. I also need to get a Pro-Solo Driving school next year. I'm hoping by late next year. Either way, Here's the video from the Second day and some pics.

Sweet pics! Sorry I couldn't make it over. My daughter came up from GA, so I couldn't get away. Where did you end up?

Looked good to me, how much time added for a cone hit?
I'm just surprised by the shortness of these courses. I havn't done Auto X since the Memphis convention and gotta be 10 years before that but I thought they were longer. I'm sure it's all in who's running things.
I'm NOT a cone hater like some can be, I just prefer a good 15-20 min seat time.

I don't blame you on the seat time! However, You can't beat a 25 Dollar Entry Fee! :evilgrin:

As they say "If Auto-X were any easier, It would be called Road Racing". :)

Kidding of course.

Also, One cone is +2 Seconds. Ouch!
