My first try at Autocross this summer....

What a blast! Looks slow, but moving through them turns 35-50 feels like 150! 🤣

1. Ran and won many autocrosses in my 1976 Corvette in the late 70's. Best was placing at the National

Corvette Convention held at Daytona. They are fun. Loved doing the 'fun runs' and reverse autocross as well.

2. They're a blast to drive and watch as well.

It's fun to see who and what shows up and always a surprise when the simple little sleepers put on a good show.

I saw Mitsubishi Lancer show up once. The guy pulls out a jack and 4 wheels, swapped his street tires out then proceeded to show his car was, by far, the quickest around the track that day. That included several Vettes, a Shelby Cobra, a Lotus and a fast Alfa. At the end of the day he put those street tires back on and left.

Autocrossing is safe, healthy fun and a much better way to express one's driving skills than causing mayhem on the street. Glad you had fun and urge you to continue.

3. So much depends on the course

A tight course favors light and quick where a more open course favours power.
I've seen many large powerful cars humbled on some tracks where they can't get out of second.

Lots of fun. Inexpensive even with a special set of tires.
