Default Did my best to represent the C4...
... at the Barn Raising Auto X.

In hind sight, I wish I had put the good rubber on it, but I am getting ready to go to Road Atlanta and didn't want to use up the 1 good set of tires I have so I threw on a set of 5 year old Kuhmos and had at it.






This was the first run. I hadn't learned the layout yet and ended up completely blowing the last gate. The launch was beyond terrible and I actually had to get out of the gas with some wheel hop. By the last run, I was launching a lot better (I had NEVER launched the car from a stop before) and doing a much better job of keeping the revs up.



I have no idea what happened with the timing but what felt like was by FAR my fastest run came back almost 5 seconds slow . In my head, it was a fast enough run to take the top spot but in the end, what prints out is what counts. Maybe I broke the beam early... who knows. In the end, I think it's safe to say that the C4 held it's own with the big boys. Officially I ended up a half second off of the top spot.

I made that run in 2nd gear just trying (and failing) to make it through without missing a gate. The rest of them were made at about 7,000 RPM in 1st gear. I wish I could have heard what those sounded like.

It was really good from top to bottom. There are a couple of different threads with some pics, etc over in OT. Thanks to work I was only able to make Thursday and Saturday. I wish I had been able to spend some more time getting to know folks.

Us cool people spell it with a "Y".

I can't argue at all with the overchicked comment. I think that applies to pretty much every one of us. It was definitely nice to meet you as well and finally start putting some faces to the names!

I've never played on an autocross before, but Bryan, your 'vette is one of my favorites of all time.
