Re: Ghrankenstein's Rookie SCCA Autocross
It's been too long since I've autocrossed. Truth is, it's been long enough that the Sebring has never seen an autocross course. I used to run whatever I had at hand at the time. This included my Camaro V6 with F41, the Escort that followed it, and, once, just once, my parent's '76 Monte Carlo Landau. That one was a simple matter of letting the suspension do its work in the corners, as any real use of the throttle simply pointed six feet of hood at the next cone.
I'm not surprised about you beating a few Mustangs, at one event I beat a GT's base time with a '81 Jetta that was starving for fuel on right hand turns because I foolishly ran with half a tank of gas.
I don't recall any of my times, or that I ever won anything. What I do recall was enjoying myself immensely, and the fascinating sort of people who were at the events. Thanks for bringing back some great memories. I hope you're having as much fun with this as I did.
