Car: 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata
Tires: Bridgestone RE01R (205/45/16)
Class: SM2 (finished 4th of 9)
Split Time: 26.255s
Time: 52.222s
Venue: De Anza College (Cupertino, CA)
I missed a 3rd place in-class finish by about 0.6 seconds and 2nd by only 0.8 seconds, either of which would have given me a trophy... Oh well, at least the only consolation is that I didn't do too badly for this competition considering I was not running on R-compound tires. :)
I love the way this event was run, using the old-school auto-x format (1st lap is practice and the last two are timed). Also, the course was nice and tight, so it was challenging. I'm surprised that as wild as I was on course, I didn't hit anything.

This car still had the BFG R1 tires it probably wore during its last road race several years ago. It also had the biggest front sway bar I've ever seen on a little car.

AE86 Duel at DeAnza Autocross
Duel at DeAnza 2006: 1985 Corolla GT-S on the autocross track for the first time. Stock suspension, and Toyo RA1's on the front.
I had 1/8th a tank of gas left, and the fuel tank has no baffling, so that's fuel starvation for you.
Miata 1.6 autocross save spin
0:40 Start of Lap
1:20 Start of Spin
A bogged start, near spin, but a fast finish, this lap wasn't great, but the top was up so the sound came out better on the camera.
(The back end comes out on a 90 left and I save it into a 180 right)
