My first autocross. Won novice class :)

Here were my times
1st (By myself) - 82.168
Instructor (Driving) - 77.070
2nd (With instructor riding) - 79.243
3rd - 76.013

This was my first autocross

I learned many things that maybe I could share with you.

* Learn the breaking or lost of traction point of your tires, its not a good thing when you hear them sqeal. I was taught that they at the point where they are going to lose traction.
* The gas pedal is like a dial, a dial is something that you turn to increase and decrease. Treat it like that. But the brake pedal is like an on or off switch. If your going to use the break make sure you use it.
* Try to go to all practice runs, it helps. thats all i know but if i learn anything more ill post it.

Heres a pic of my second run



By the way I'm only 16 .
