[QUOTE]Originally posted by aslowdodge: [QB] I've done autocross before and watching them go 25mph is way different than trying to run that course driving yourself. You are pushing the limits of handling and braking on the car. If you think you can cover the course doing a much faster speed, then you car has something no one else has. Everyone is doing 25mph because any faster and the car will skid or plow off course because it can't stick any better. People that are smooth and are able to dance on the end of traction get the faster times. make a mistake and you will lose. You should try it. You will learn driving skills. I learned how to threshold brake and a few years later it saved me from rearending another car on the street. I will say that it's really hard on the tires. My tread was pretty much wasted after doing about 6 -8 events. On a longer course one time I remember a point where you could actually hit about 80mph if you had a fast car. I was doing that in a borrowed Porsche 928 and the brakes faded. Needless to say I didn't make the turn that came after. i haven't done auto X in about 8 years, but I think I will try to make this event if it doesn't rain. Anyone else around here want to head down and run em? [/QB][/QUOTE]
