....... novice that is.

i went autocrossing last weekend. it was my first time driving, but i have been a regular spectator for years now. the xB is the first vehicle i have owned where i can comfortably fit with a helmet (i'm 6'7"), so no more excuses!

here's some vids:

this is my winning run:

i definetely anticipate more auto-x events in my future, but i will likely keep it bone stock so as to stay in HS. once they post our times, i'll come back and edit the post with them.

there were 14 novices registered, and the cars included: 04 STi, new G37, new Miata, S2Ks, etc. i'm not sure, but i THINK i ended up beating them on actual lap times, not just the PAX time. pretty sweet, eh?

good times.. I am going to my first autox here in a couple weeks, all I have is a rear sway and a short shifter kit, but stock tires and everything else. I just hope I don't get the absolute worst time, but as long as it is fun I am happy
