First time autocrossing at Hot Rod Power TOUR

I didn't expect to win, just wanted to have fun....which I did. I also won my class (modern muscle).

The 2 pro drivers had best times of 33.0 seconds (Type R Tires) and 35.4 seconds. My best time was a 35.7.

Here's some video of my first two non-practice runs. The second run was without the nannies, and since I just got the car, I used it as an opportunity to see if I could drift the car through a turn. I failed. I'll get more practice as time goes on...I feel the nannies were holding me back a little bit on exiting the turns, with the car pushing through the turns and being tight.

Here's the video...

I've gotten so many comments on the Power Tour like this. I plan to take care of it...it's just not a garage queen.

Already have close to 3000 miles on it in 14 days. Should have about 6000-7000 by the time my trip (not just Power Tour) is done.

Just plain awesome! I went on the Power Tour last year. It was a blast but I missed the Autocross event last year...
