It was a pleasure meeting you and your wife. Thanks for posting your videos. It was an interesting event with very low grip and uphil/downhill switches that added to the complexity. I didn't have a singe good run on the right, but my left run saved me.
Both Perry and Adil are amazing drivers and will be the fastest gt4 out there (if not already) once they are on real autox tires. It's awesome to have that type of benchmark in the my region.
I'll meet you in AS... I don't really want to go to BS. It was too much fun launching next to Mark D. Btw, Cayman S had an advantage at 60 ft times, but the Z06 gained it back plus about 1.5 car length by the top of the hill. It was very disturbing having that V8 sound pass by you...

I did a double header yesterday running an event in the morning finishing just after 1pm then driving 4 hrs home to catch my local club event in the evening.

This was not my fastest of the day, but the review of the run from my passenger is worth it (caution, he uses naughty words...)
Finished 6th raw overall, 4th of 29 PAX in street classes.


My best run in the evening, good for 3rd raw and 1st PAX.

Nice run! Wish I could see your line better... Did you know that run took 7th overall index on the left side? We finished up 16th and 24th overall index. AS & SS classes are apparently a ton deeper with talent than people give credit- Adil took 5th overall pax for the event on MPSS on the GT4 on MPSS and Brian Conners finished 2nd overall pax on Rival (not S, the old slow one). We both indexed better than a ton of national champions which is probably the course but I don't care, I'll take it!

Interesting mashup of our left side runs. I see where I lost a few tenths to you on the crossover back towards the slalom; not sure how you beat me up the hill, though!

hahaha, your passenger's reaction was priceless!

Two autocrosses in one day is pretty hardcore. Nice driving, too

It was great meeting you Lex and Steve! Great driving, both of you! I just couldn't put it together and made most of my mistakes during the afternoon session on Saturday when the conditions were at their best. I was also really struggling due to the lack of power and torque up that long uphill straight. it was much longer than I had expected. Oh well. Enough of my excuses. I still had a lot of fun.

My GoPro wasn't working Saturday, so here is my 2nd right side run from Sunday morning:
Time: 31.9
RT: .687
60ft: 2.236

Sorry for the shaky video during the launch. I was getting really bad wheel hop all weekend. Even when launching at like 2600rpm.

I got a different camera mount, so now you can actually see where the hell I am going. This is from last Saturday's event with NNJR SCCA. Very fun and fast course.

Cool I finally get to post in here! First autocross this year, first time back since suspension refresh. Car is on stock wheel sizes, Michelin Pilot Sport AS3 all seasons.. Sway bar bushings still original. Getting around to 968 M030 units at some point. Excuses, excuses.. Camera died 2 runs before I got my fastest run. Still lots to learn. Haven't played with the rebound settings at all so it was at full soft. You can see it could've used quiet a bit more. With the suspension completely rebuilt (torsions out, coilovers, all new bushings etc) the tires really, really felt like the limiting factor so tried to keep it smooth and not destroy them. Some 245 square Direzza ZIIs or NT01s are calling my name.. Mmmmm

Was really happy in the end with my time considering the only cars that weren't on really aggressive and or oversized tires were the GT2, the Boxster Spyder and I on the time sheet.

Excited to get the full skid pad next month. Big thanks to Rich and everyone who ran the event!

Posting my 1st vid... Yay!

Noticed no one had helmet cam footage so I thought I'd share the perspective... Good for 2nd place in street class. Filmed with the Replay XD 1080.

Enjoy!




By the way, I didn't manage to get the nice large vid window... What am I missing?
