Default Autocross Video. PCA event. 11/17/2013.

Good thing you only need one lap to count. I coned away 3 out of 4 laps. That just hurts. Here's the one and only clean lap. I liked the course a lot. 2nd. overall out of 90 cars.

That looks like a blast and the fastest autox course I've ever seen.

Wow....course looked way bigger (faster) than the SCCA courses I've done. I may have to nose my way into one of those PCA events.

Awesome drive (as usual!).

too smooth...
and whats the deal with dropping only one place in race results compared to your gutted/modded racer before?
this stock car with chrome is almost as fast as the race car before???!

At least you got it on the last lap! I am sure to hit my fair share of cones at the PCA event. Will be great to get back out there to test the car. You get tires yet?

I'm running Hoosiers A6's for PCA. Street tires for SCCA practice. No one makes good street tires in Corvette sizes.

Looks like a great track and a fast one. Good job. Cone Killers rule.

You think you have it bad, try finding good street tires for a c6 Z06. What size tires are you running, I would have thought the BFG Rival would have been an option for street tires.

On this day I was running Hoosiers A6's. (4) 315/30/18 on C5 Z06 rear wheels. I've heard good and bad on the Rivals. I'm done using street tires for practice. The Bridgestone RE 760 sport has no grip for racing. Fine for street driving.
