Default I knew this day was coming...
GWiz beat me by 6/10ths, and beat the entire field as well (raw time with the exception of 2 shifter karts and an open wheel racer). She beat 4+ GT3s and a shit ton of other fast cars.

She was the only fendered car in the 64's.

She's going to run the Florida State Autocross Championship in November in my car too, on brand new Hoosiers. I expect her to win it all. She has become INSANELY fast in this sport.



We both spun at the same place. I'll try and share those videos too once I get them ripped.

That's great

Have you put her in a formula car yet?

Just Googled it only to learn Bertil Roos is no longer in business.
There's always Skip Barber.

She definitely needs to be in a car. Her track record in the Ferrari 488 Pista out in Vegas will stand forever (8,000+ women) as they are at a new venue now.

She is just going to get faster and your 200 lbs handicap is never going to catch her.

Amen to that. I'm what they call aerodynamically challenged. Power to weight ratio goes out the window with me.

I don’t know how you understand the course. I’d run over every cone.

Congradulations.
If you are not touching the cones you are not going fast enough.

I've never been able to really rip an AutoX course. I've been moderately successful (years ago) but it's certainly a different style than door to door racing. It takes me a minute to get in a groove and go. Well done.

Somewhat related note, I did just acquire an X30 TAG kart (not a shifter) to use as a "chase" kart with the kid. I've gone pretty damned fast in a full bodied car on a race track. It is nowhere near as terrifying as 80 in a go kart with a corner coming at you.
