Default My First Auto x @ Car Craft 2014 MN

Took the z out on the auto X at the St. Paul Car Craft auto show last weekend. This was my first time to auto x. I was in the top 10 for cars for time. There where around 60 or so cars that I saw. Took some video's. Only a 28 sec course for me but it was fun. My goal after the first day was to get in the 27 sec times but i fell just short with a 28.092(run 6) So close. Looking forward to another auto X event in my future. Check out the video's if you want. These are in order of my runs. Anything you think i can improve let me know. I do think i was getting to aggressive in the braking zones trying to get into the 27 sec range. Lost to much speed. Thanks

Not upside down when you hit play

Nice driving...especially for your first autoX. I have trouble locating turns in the sea of cones, but you looked rock solid on the path to take.

Nice...I too an a GT fanatic
"sea of cones"...meaning all I see are cones, and not the proper path through the cones.

I have to read a little slower. Working and doing this at the same time.

I should post the video of me going around while my wife was filming from the stands.
