Woo Hoo! - This Autcrossing stuff is fun!

Wow.. what a difference a month makes (in the weather anyway). Course was a lot drier but that still did not help me that much with worn out suspension and those horrid Auqa Plane tires!

Again I managed to take a number of photos at the event of my fellow competitors. I'm finding that having a spotter to keep an eye on your back while shooting at these events would be a real plus. Keeping your head on a swivel while trying to capture compelling images is a difficult task indeed. LINK: BSCC - Round 2 Gallery

Regardless it was still a fun event. I managed to pull off another spin (a pattern is developing here) in my 3rd run but this time I recalled the addage "SPIN == both feet in!" and kept the motor running this time while looping wildly down the course.

Another thing I noticed with these tires was that once a spin was initiated the horrible traction was somehow even worse and the car would understeer like a car on ice! UGH. It was a learning experience regardless and the results I think show a slight improvement over the last event, scoring about 3 more points than Round 1.
