[SECC] Autocross

[J&D Bird]

I had a blast tonight autocrossing with my headlights on. A local club has a night series that runs at night on Tuesday nights that end close to midnight. This club is not afraid to put pylons out and crisscross a course which is a lot of fun in the dark. I think the course had two turns that were almost 90 degrees which is not fun in a Corvair or any long wheel base car. It is at an Ag Center across from the airport so we do not have to worry about noise being a problem. Do not have the official times yet but in the class Barry Ellison and raced in I think Barry won it. In that class there was a Z-28, 5-Series BMW and a Mustang that definitely had a V-8. There WAS cool looking Fiero running in another class that the guy had a dropped a small block V-8 in it and it sounded so good. It was a good looking car until he did not make a turn and centered a light pole.

It was a lot of fun running an autocross at night and I kind of think it helped me since I could not see all of the pylons to over whelm me. I will let you know the official times when they are posted.
