Viperkiller04 (Brandon) and I (John) went auto crossing last weekend and had a blast. He got the better time between us with a margin of victory of .061 seconds. The track was set up to run fast. You could easily hit ~90mph in some places and the coarse was .8 miles long. Here are the pics first.

Cool picture of a c6 z06 wanna be that I was a little too fast on panning the camera.

And now to the videos. First up, an in car run with Brandon and his C6

Second video is and external view of one of his runs (different run from above).

Then we have an in car of my worst driving run (except for my complete spin out on another run). You will see me almost lose the car on the big turn, then have a brain fart and down shift into 2nd gear with out getting the revs up and rear tires lock up and the car goes sliding out a bit. Very shitty run but very comical at the same time.
How not to drive :pounding table:

Next is an external video that I believe Brandon filmed and this was my best run of the day I think. You can watch the rx7 or skip ahead 1 minute, Brandon forgot to cut the video between runs so the rx7 is part of my spot in the tape.

That's all for now. We ended the day with Brandon running a 57.665 to my 57.726. We had a blast and are going again on January 31st. If any of you Florida guys are interested in attending the next one please let me know and I'll get you signed up. :racing:
