Nice clean driving. Could tell you were taking it easy but the first big step in Auto-X is be cone free and on-course. Myself, I have a reputation for being a cone killer.  |
Thanks - I definitely hit a bunch of cones on the last wall of cones with a 90-degree turn. I would take out 4 in one swing. I put those corner workers to WORK!.

My first run of the day was really sloppy and I missed a cone and went sideways for a little bit
You know which way to go because there are pointer cones that literally point to the side you should pass them on. They are laying on the ground and point left or right. WHen you enter a slalom, they just have normal cones and you're supposed to know to alternate. On my last run of the day, I had a time of 72.999 which was good for first place NOvice class but was disqualified because I entered the slalom on the wrong side. It can be really tricky and you're expected to get there super early and walk the track 3 or 4 times. Only problem is that it looks wayyy different when you're slowly walking than when you're driving like you stole it.

That stillen exhaust sounds pretty loud! No HFCs?

You should do it at least once. I was glad I did.
The Stillen sounds awesome I think and no, I don't have HFC. I don't even know what that is. High flow cat, I assume, but still don't know what that means.

You can shave a few seconds off your time if you 'track brake'. Either your foot is on the gas or you're 100% on the brakes (with appropriate trail braking and smooth transitions from gas to brake and back). Just something to think about.

Yeah I think you're right. I'm also wondering now if I should have been downshifting to first gear. I was concentrating on where I was supposed to go next that I didn't want to think about anything else... really tough for a noob.
