Default SCCA autocross race video. 10/25/09

I'm co-driving a SS C5 Z06. Not my best day driving. Oh well, I'll get over it and move on.

Almost impossible to tell from the video what you thought your "not best day driving" points are, but the course looks like it was a lot of fun. I had a fun day yesterday, video will hopefully get posted later tonight.

Have a good one,
Mike

WOW, that's some wide open spaces to run on. Looked like a nice open course.

Looks good Steve. I would post my video...but I can't find a run without swearing in it. It was a fun course...but, it definitely wasn't my best day either.

I saw that Tom's coaching almost ended... Great run... only .4 sec behind.

Looking forward to your video. I think the video hides some of my mistakes, plus when I'm driving I make a big deal out of little mistakes. If I'm 2ft. off a cone I think its 5ft. A 1ft. slide out, I think the car is heading backwards. I just keep seeing tenths being lost.

Hi Charley,

Just edit the video with loud music. Lets see it. One event Tom was ahead of me in a practice for half the day. He learned real quick that I was no longer a coach, but a competitor.

I should have looked you up out there Charlie. I was across the street with my son. He was racing his kart at Auto Club Speedway.

I stopped by in the afternoon to say "Hi" Mr. Abbott, but you were already gone.

Get an in car video so we can see your hands. I've learned a lot looking at my vids and comparing runs to my co-driver, but exterior video is nearly useless.

Wow we would kill to have that lot up here in Nor Cal. Tons of space, I am seriously jealous. How often do you run there, are they 2 day events, and can you stay on site?

Run looks pretty clean to me, maybe a touch late on the gas early on around one corner /shrug
