Thanks Guys, The course turned out a lot harder than I thought it would be. After dirving it, I would have moved the cone in corner 3 out about 6 inches (I hit it 3 times), and moved the last cone in the 3 cone slalom out about 3-4 foot. I think the rest of the course drove well.
I had a fun time Saturday.
Good job getting the results posted so fast!
Looks like POS is 1 of only 2 drivers with 8 clean runs.

I probably would have blown through the sweeper way too hot if the slalom didn't force me to slow down a bit.Quote:

Good job Robert, the box was painful, but overall the rest flowed well, and gave good freedom to pick lines and speeds, but rewarded looking ahead, and setting up early. Thanks :)Quote:

It was great to see Miatamoto at the event signing autographs and pushing his new line of die cast.
It is such a joy to see they young autocrossers eyes light up and hang on everyone of Miatamoto's words!
He is like the Autocross Santa to those kids! :santa:
;)
Agreed with wannabe DK. The box drove 10x better than it looked on paper.
And all he gave me was a flat tire. :punchout:Quote:

Good point, concrete vs sealed asphalt. When I drove Jim's car it was on some Goodyear R comps though, not A6's. Not sure how big of a difference in that tire vs. the A6.Quote:

If you need an impartial third-party to judge the tires, then I guess I could find the time to test them on your car at the next AX. ;)Quote:

I think photography/videography should most definitely be a work assignment option!
I'll do photography assignment.
