Default 1st autox in my c5.:thumbs:

I've done about 6 to 8 autox events in my z28. It was a lot more fun than the 1/4 mile, but the z didn't have the best handling. I had fun making the back swing out, but it got old pretty quick.

Now this past Saturday I drove my c5 in an autox event. It was held at night, so the heat was bearable. I didn't actually finish my 4 runs until 10:34.

Well I knew the car would handle a lot better, but to actually feel it is a different story. I felt really comfortable with it and the brakes worked really nice. I was on street tires and will probably keep it like that for the next few events.

I look forward to the heat leaving already and participating in more events.

I took these with my cell, so excuse the poor quality.
