Fun time for sure! I can't remember the last autocross I did when I got six runs, so great call on that and that was a very interesting course setup with the finish waaaaay on down the runway.
The optional box was pretty interesting and I decided to go clockwise on the first two runs, then took it counter the last four and it was definitely quicker although I thought I was going to nail the last cone in the box each time. Going clockwise just seemed to 'pinch off' the exit making the finish a bit slower. Also, I really liked the first sweeper-type entry into the first slalom which really let you wind up first for a quick 1-2 shift at the top of the rev limiter (I wound out first on one run
). Come to think of it, the finish was similar going 1-2 out of the box. Was anyone else getting a little close for comfort in relation to the finish cone? Great course with three big braking zones, especially good for novices to learn the try meaning of patience.
I don't think I'll be coming back to Raleigh from Laurinburg via 95 to 40 on a Sunday evening anymore. Plus, there was major gridlock in Dunn where the highway was peppered with tons of tornado debris. Thank you Garmin for allowing me to meander aimless less along 95's backroads with the other motorists not knowing where we were headed, all the while avoiding the standstill.
What a wild weekend with the storms, big thanks to each and every person that braved the elements on Saturday with course design, and this will be one to remember.
Looking forward to NCCAR's debut, so prereg early!
