Default shot of my first auto-x

hey guys, i definatly have a feeling that i'm gonna be posting in here much more. i went to the 1st annual northest honda/acura meet today. i figured i would try my hands at auto-x since there were a lot of other newbs there. i ran a 56.4xx. i dunno how hard the course was so if anybody else was there, could you tell me if this was a decent first time out? and i was in a stock accord.

by the way, my avatar is the 3rd place trophy i won for 3rd place in my class.

one car did 43.9 and the other ones in that class did around 45.....so i was about 10 seconds or so behind the average. i guess i need a lot of improvment.

"way too far off tad" is an understatement for me. but considering tad won STS last year and is now driving the national champ's car, i don't feel so bad


the event looked cool. i'll try harder to make the next one.
