putting the fun back in dysfunction

Capital Driving Club AutoX, September 9

without comments

It had been a while since I had autocrossed with CDC. All of my recent excursions have been with National Road in Cumberland which has longer courses which tend to come back on themselves less and are more wide open. Saturday’s CDC course was certainly a 2nd gear course, as usual, with multiple double and also a triple gate. Fabulous.

Morning runs were decent: 47.98, 47.74, 46.97. Clean, but I knew I could be going faster. There were cars I should be keeping up with going faster. From the times I was able to hear, I was about middle of the pack. CDC has not yet posted results, so I am not sure what the average times were. The afternoon ended up better, although I have to say I was not happy with my first run, as I knew I was not driving aggresive enough and clocked in a 47.10. The second run of the afternoon was better, and faster, but not clean; 46.36 plus one cone. The last run I knew I pretty much had to just leave it all out there, and I was very happy to hear 45.40 announced when I finished. Over 2.5 seconds better than my first morning run. Excellent.

Here’s video of all six of my runs, it’s 24.61 MB. Download me!
