Whew, fun autocross. I got my shoulder workout. A few really sharp corners make it a workout for a geezer with no power steering. I was not thinking about the autocross Friday when I filled up the 21 gallon gas tank. So extra weight on the front tires as a bonus.
There were two different cones that tried to attack me! They ran out into my path and I had to kill them. Really they did!. It could not possibly be my driving! One was a center punch on the front valance. It went under the car and got drug a few corners before I spit it out. I thought it to not attack a 911 ever again.
We had near perfect weather, clear skies and zero chance of rain, 72 degrees when we started and 82 when we were done with a steady Oklahoma light breeze of 10 to 15 MPH winds. The turnout was surprisingly small. The club made 30 buck, so it was not a loss! We each got 10 runs since the turnout was small we were done by noon. I hardly broke a sweat.
Dang that is fun. For sure the biggest reason I own an old air cooled 911. One guy was there in a 2105 Jag Something - something type R and it was using all the torque vectoring, traction control, ABS and computer aids to make a fast path. He was fast.
In the end a Miata with street tires and a great driver was FTD.
