I really wish I had gotten to run that in the dry. I was at yesterday's event and it was dry. Today was the same course by in reverse, plus one cone. So it would have been cool to compare my times. I think the course was slightly faster in reverse (most are.)

Was crazy fun, thanks to everyone for their help and instruction.

:funny:

 

Don't laugh. A good shit before a race will shed a pound or two off the car. ;)

 

As for shifting, I was in the same boat when it was dry. First off the line, shift into second and then concentrate on the cones until the finish. The last couple AutoX courses I've done have been like that. I love it.

The launch on Jones' car is amazing! It took off so damn fast and got through 1st gear so quickly I was scrambling to even grab the paddle shifter for 2nd gear!

 

It will auto shift at redline. Just have to hold it down until desired speed is reached.

Wait...did you guys leave the jake brake on while running the Audi?

 

Skinner, none of us got video of the S4 because we had to work while they ran. Unless Sean or Pat got video after they showed up...

 

 

Yeah I don't think anyone was taking video, supposedly ton of pics were taken. Hopefuly they got some of the white slug. :masturboy:

 

That was great, thanks for the invite and encouragement Adam.

 

EDIT: I have a quick 20sec clip of you on the track, uploading to youtube now.

Cool! I didn't think anyone got video.

 

You're welcome! There are some more events coming up soon that you can go to. I think they will be at National Trails. If you don't feel like running the car again, just come by and ride along with me. With my fat ass throwing the balance off in my car, I could always use a passenger.

Make no mistake, I intend on using my car as it was intended. Can't wait!
