Autocross
I drove in an Oregon SCCA Solo 2 practice this Saturday in Packwood, WA. It was my first time autocrossing and it exceeded my expectations - the adrenaline rush and fun is nearly on par with skydiving. :)
My goal was just to have fun and not knock over too many cones or go off course. I succeeded in not knocking over any cones, but went off course 4 or 5 times. :)
On the 5th of the 7 runs I wasn't focussing right and messed up the slalom, missing 3 gates.
But I also learned a lot about my car - you learn how quickly it can stop, how fast you can turn before losing traction and spinning/drifting, what the DSC - dynamic stability control - feels like (I left it on for 1 run).
