Thanks to all the organizers for a great year. Looking forward to March.

Thanks Mike. As always, had a great time. Thanks to all the organizers.

Here's a clip of my fast run. Won't be able to make the next one though.

I was in heat 2 too, and I noticed some of the corner workers in the stadium part of the lot weren't always paying attention. There could have been a bad or delayed call. Who knows.

I'll post my best run later. Had a horrible day with my concentration.

Great event on Saturday. Thanks to all the organizers. Wish I could have stayed for the afternoon runs. Here's a clip of my last morning run.

I like the idea of asking one of good drivers to ride with me. I'll do that at the next event. Thanks.

Btw, this is turning out to be a great thread. I hope others are getting something out of all this great information.

There's a really good write up on course walking strategy on the WDCR SCCA website: http://www.wdcr-scca.org/SoloAutocross/SoloNews/GuidetoCourseWalking/tabid/1732/Default.aspx . Great read by the way. Thanks for sharing. The Evo school is excellent....highly recommended. WDCR puts on schools too, ...

Thanks for everyone's input. There's a lot of great tips! I'll definitely pay more attention and plan better when I'm walking the course. I've been thinking of signing up for an autoX driving school, especially the ones offered by Evolution. I've read great things about them. What's also cool is tha...

Thanks for the responses. I like the suggestion to walk the course as many times as possible and to look further ahead while driving. I even thought about using my phone to video tape the course as I'm walking. I'm not sure about driving slower in the later runs though. :lol: My question was really ...

Does anyone have any tips that they could share so that you could get your fastest times in the first three to four runs? I normally get my fastest personal times as I get more runs. What techniques do you use so that your first 3-4 runs are just as quick as your last 4-8? May be visualization of th...

Thanks for posting the results so quickly. Great fun event as always. Thanks to all the organizers and corner workers. We sure hit a lot of cones on Saturday. Here's a clip from Saturday. http://youtu.be/MGnruYqr0O0 Congrats on the win. Good job looking ahead and staying on top of those cones. Than...

Fun course, got my first autocross win! woooooooooooooooooooooooooo! :D Here was my run http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoNZsL7IGPw Good job on getting 1st in the index ranking! Wait until you get coilovers on your car. You're going to be a regular contender. I almost had it but hit a cone on my las...

Great event today. Great weather and everything ran smoothly. The 2 hr. drive wasn't fun, but getting a chance to run at this big lot for the first time was worth it. Here's a clip of my fastest run. It seems like I've learned more and more at each event. Need more seat time... http://www.youtube.co...

Sounds like a fun idea.

That does seem odd. I checked the run log and there were no big time gaps between runs during that group. This was during the second heat when we started having some issues, so maybe the timer was manually started late and the run wasn't marked as not being valid. I was just curious. Since I'm stil...

Is the fastest time for the 2005 bmw 330ci correct? Based on the times from the other five runs, it seems out of place. May be a manual timing error?

Great weather and a great course setup. Finally got a goPro to take some videos.

Thanks for the quick post. I had a blast on Sunday.

Thanks for posting the results. I was slow but had a blast. Looking forward to the next one. Hopefully, I'll have summer tires on the car by then.

Looking forward to participating in 2012 (although with a heavier and slower car)!
