Auto-X Video!

This is me running a friend's Saturn Wagon. It was my first time in the car, and first time racing a 5spd (my Camry is an Auto). I placed 3rd in STS that day (out of 10 or so). Just 1/10th of a second behind the owner of the car

Here you go!

They used the hairpin like they did at the last La Crosse event you were at. But it was much different than the one we ran before. This one was pretty quick. I hit 3rd gear twice.

I got an e-mail with the times sheet. I ran 7th fastest time of day!!

I'll post it online as soon as they put it up



No, the ground wasn't wet, just shitty windows movie maker. Low quality video.

Here's video of me running the Camry at Dakota Tech:

That first video, I ran a 64.449 second run. I placed third in STS. My average speed was probably in the range of 35-45mph (I spent a good deal of time in the middle of 2nd gear). Top speed had to be over 60mph (I almost topped out third).

Fastest time of day was 60.587 run by a 600whp S/C Z06.
