That was out standing, you go girl!!!! It was a blast, I really enjoyed it once I got over the stress of reading the course. Every body should try it at least once!

Great Video!!! Looks like a "Clean Run".
Linda and I stopped by an SCCA autocross being held in the Boeing parking lot at Paine Field today and watched for quite a while. Impressive driving and car control - and some "interesting" cars. 3 or 4 MINI's were there but we only saw one running the course.
Looks like a fun event - but also looks like it would be very hard on the car - especially tires and brakes.

It was a clean run for Rox. As far as the paine feild Auto-x you must have been there for the Morning session. If there running in class they may only run in the afternoon. They switch it up every other event. Morn one event afternoon the next. If they run in class in the morn they can run time only in the afternoon if there are not to many entries. It is amazing they can run 150+ cars in an event.
Yes it can be hard on the tires and brakes but smooth is the key in auto-X.

After watching the video, as well as hanging out with some auto-x friends this weekend, I'm inspired to get to an event soon. D even seems to have implied that it's OK, too. :)
BTW, Mike, I found out that your new tires came off of my friends Triumph TR7. Small world. ;)
