Default auto-x today.... my first time - long post and BWW

the turnout was pretty big, and they didn't organize it very well so we only did 2 out of 4 heats...

i was in the Street touring (STS) class bc i have upgraded rotors. thats all i have, but since it was my first time, i think i did very well. first run was 47 sec, and average times were between 46-50, then there were the outliers like the 38 second m3 and 42 second turbo rabbit(my friend's)... at the end, it was lots of fun, started raining after i got my first run over with so my other runs were slower, but they had pulled the clock away since it was a giant lit up sign, and it was raining...

here's a basic list of who was there


- 2001 dodge viper (my friend's)
- 2 m3s
- 8 honda s2000s
- bmw z3
- 3 supras
- 2 scion tc's
- 6 mazda miatas
- 3 corvettes (2 z06's)
- 3 toyota mr2s (old ones)
- 4 camaros (1 SS and 3 z28s)
- 67 austin healy (friend's)
- 2 '84 vw rabbit race cars (friend's)
- 4 mini coopers (one supercharged)
- supercharged r32 (friend's)
- turbo rx7 (friend's)
- a few gti's
- a few civics and preludes and integras
- 3 lexus is300s
- 2 acura rsx type-s
- tt 300zx
- 1 audi .... mine

and some more random cars i prob forgot

people seemed to be impressed with my car(maybe since it was the only audi) and everyone kept asking if i had quattro =(. some kids i heard sayin "oh that audi is phat" haha. i squealed the tires hardly any, and only hit one cone the hole time (it was my first run in the rain and i forgot to use the wipers, bad idea) so i had lots of fun, and im going to the next one thats about 45 minutes from me, its gonna happen in 1 month

ok heres some pics, mostly of me

How did your times hold up compared to the other people in your class?

Default not sure, all the stock and street touring went mixed,

so i wasnt right with my group... one of them got a 50 i saw, i missed what the other preludes did. i emailed the organizer of the setup, to see if i could get a copy of the results... at least for my class

by the end, i was so tired of being there that i left early. they didnt really plan it too well so they started more than an hour late, and it was taking forever to do each heat. i was so hungry and bored by the end of second heat, taht i left right before the 3rd laps of 2nd heat.... now im trying to get full results...

Default nah, no one knew it was my first time unless they asked... but i did well i think

and i looked cool, at least thats what others said (my friend's who watched reported back to me the crowd's opinions, haha)

one time, i hit a turn really fast and squealed some tires, but pulled out nice... apparently crowd liked that too
