"Goodguys" autocross

http://youtu.be/_oU-jkbg954 Stumbled across this video, someone took last fall at the "Goodguys" autocross. My run starts on video at 21.30 sec seconds.
Here is my second run on Saturday. Went from a 33sec. run to this one at 32.377. On suday went a low of 31.02. All runs clean no cones.
Going to be doing it adain this next weekend[June 2-3]. Hope someone gets some more video. "Moon"

Found it's better to leave ESC on[gets pretty hairy with it off]. Just use launch control[even tho it's a auto], and that seems to work better. So far, been trying to not knock any cones down[so far none], so I'm still leaving some on the table. This next weekend, gonna pull the stops out, and let the animal eat.
So far been in the top 1/3 in street machine as far as times. I have to run against some pretty modded v8's, so I have to take what I can get. Can you say: "a little outclassed", but tons of fun.
This video was taken in the old configuration[small ,non fuctional hood scoop and the red wheels]. Looks lot different now, and should run harder. "Moon"

That looks like a really tight course! Your narrower track width should give some help versus the old pony cars, but getting the turbo to spool up looks like quite a challenge.

One of these days, I'm going to take mine out. I miss this a lot. I also realize that not competing weekly is saving me lots of money and time. With all the money saved, though, I could probably build a heck of a car...
