Default My firest autocross run ever (it aint pretty)

2011 3.7 V6 Premium Convertable, AirAid CAI. Otherwise all stock, even tires. It was at the GoodGuys Nationals here in Loveland, Co yesterday. That isn't my wife with me on the 2nd run, she would not have been giggling. Note that at the 14 second mark you can see the smoke from the huge fire we have here in Colorado just west of Fort Collins.

Hey, it might not have been pretty but it sure looked like it was fun. Thanks for sharing. Run two looked much smoother.

I really liked how the official gave me some words of encouragement at the end of my first run.

lol that's great thought you was going to hit the wall. Looks like you had a blast that's all that matters.

Yeah he basically said you sucked LOL, kind of mean I thought. You did a good job keeping out of the jersey wall in the first run. If I came that close I would have peed my pants.

Looked like a blast and you did good on the second pass. Are racing mods in your plans now?
