And holy moley those pictures you posted are huge! You should totally blow one up into a poster and frame it and then put it in your garage.

Sick run, I'm getting a lot better at reading the cones :)

Some courses are more difficult than others, this one was pretty easily read. 50.0-1:00 was the only part that was difficult to read on the first run especially going as fast as I was going haha.

decided to film the terrible roll center of the front suspension thanks to ford stupid k-member design. look at how terrible of an angle that a-arm is, it's supposed to be parallel to the ground when sitting still lmao.

Winning run from this past weekend. Tested our brand new Maximum Motorsports MM3 Coilover suspension and couldn't be happier with the results and just how fast the car was. Fastest auto-x course we've had to date and the first and only time I've ever hit 3rd (8000rpm redline) at one of our events.

Came away from this weekend as the CP-SD National Tour Champ!

Saturday I struggled with oversteer. Having removed the rear aerodynamics from the car really made a vast difference on grip and even with a bigger front sway bar on the car for this event it still was catastrophic. Left a LOT of time on the table saturday unfortunately but still came away with a good sized lead going into Sunday. Here's my best from Saturday:

Changes for sunday were very basic, all I did when I got home saturday night was move the Watts Link Roll Center down an Inch. This alone brought the rear of the car back under control and set me up beautifully with just the right amount of oversteer to lay down some seriously quick times. Definitely shocked a lot of people with the Roush, came within a second of Hyman's Nissan GTR and to me, that's a victory considering how out of date my car is! Here's my best from Sunday:

Here's just a couple of misc vids, first one is of my first run from sunday when I was getting a feel for the course. Second is just a rear facing camera.

Overall I had a blast this past weekend. Extremely pleased coming away with a win at my very first National Level event in autocross. Look for more things to come, we might be headed to Cone Surfing USA (Lincoln) if we get the car prepared in time! Currently she sits in the garage with a broken rear end. Passenger side C-Clip "partially" failed and tore up the wheel bearing and outer seal. These damn hoosiers are just too sticky for c-clips!
