Default 3/21 TAMSCC Autocross results+pics

Alright here are the corrected results (I've been told they aren't final)

http://www.tamscc.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=13596 (first attachment)

Guess who was Cone King of the day with 9 total cones? I don't know whether to blame myself, or the 195/65-15 Michelins that came with my car that I used for the first time

The guy who usually takes pics wasn't there (Chris Cornwell http://www.corndesigns.com/pho...cat=5), so all I have are shots from the 1st 3 Heats out of 4, taken by 2 different people

Nice shots of Heat 1+3:

All of the crappy shots of Heat 2 (which I ran in):

First, let me say that this was the first time I've autocrossed on my piece-of-crap OEM 195/65-15 michelins that came with the car.

I got the award for cone king of the day (9 cones total), and I don't know whether to blame the tires, or me braking too late (I was braking hard+late). I had 0 DNFs and placed 7th out of 9

That being said, <U>The Suzuki Swift 1.3L</U> ran in HS and beat me by over 2 seconds; 5th out of 7th!!!

-Pranav
who will be autocrossing on crap tires until he feels he's ready for good tires (and wider wheels! \/\/\/\/\/\/\/)

I feel your pain. I too did my first (several) autocross on stock Michelins, V4s if I remember correctly. They were the worst tire I have ever had on my car.

For future reference, you might want to pick out the top 5 pictures or so to post. I am thankfull you did not go as far as to post the "driving to" and "pictures of the Burger King after the autocross" pictures.

Also, why was this post bumped after two days? If no one posts it's because no one has anything to say, if you wanted some kind of feedback propose some kind of question. If you were just hunting for the mindless "good job" replies, here it is:

Good Job

lol, yes they're the MXV4s

Anyways, I just quoted myself from another forum and pasted it here. My "gallery" consists of an open directory where you'd have to click on each link individually

Anyways, I bumped it because I don't think hatch2k, and Blue Si #72 got ot see this (they were there)...
