and he was 9 seconds slower with more power and more brakes hahahaa.....it really comes down to driver skill.....and the clock don't lie

he said cones are your friend

but 198esp had his own "moment" when his brakes almost failed on the last run, sorta funny as he skidded to a stop with the E-brake cranked and everyone was like "what's wrong with this dork, is he going to stop or should we be ducking for cover?"

funtional brakes + autocross = fun for everyone

disfuntional brakes + autocross = funny for those not in harms way, downright scary for everyone else

I'm telling ya, it is a total rush.....there is little chance of hurting the car (assuming your brakes work) and you get to totally push the car to the limits of your skill and the car's ability. 45-50 seconds of hard driving that for the most part is a pure reflection of the guy behind the wheel. Everyone should try it at least once....you would not be dissapointed.

I'm gonna try and get some in-car video this time so you can see what its all about.....no promise, but I'm gonna try....Kevin bring the camera mount and secondary strap....I'll bring the camera
