How were your times compared to others. I know you were in a class by yourself, but still. IMHO I think you could have push the car a lot harder, but I know its different when you're behind the wheel instead of a keyboard.
I'll be running for my second time ever, tomorrow. The first time I tried it I only did the novice course. Tomorrow I will be competing for the first time. Heres a video from my novice course. This was my last run of the day giving my girl a ride around the track. I had much better runs, where I didn't hit cones, but this was the only video I have.
