(The article explains why the car finally succeeds on the 3rd try.)

What next Autocross??? :lol:

Will there be a day when we compete with our automous AutoX cars while we sit back and drink beers and eat dead birds?
Can I send my car off at 6am to go to the AutoX site to get teched and I show up at 10am for the "drivers" meeting?
Oh the possibilities! 8)

I'm ready! As long as there's still some skill involved in there somewhere, preferably programming skills so I have a chance of winning.
