Default My first autocross vids!

Watch the third and fourth video... They rock. Wow. My first auto-cross has converted me from a drag-racer to a real racer. This was a blast! I loved it! You have to see the third video, I really put the car through some stress there!

Completely stock Tib. Now that I love this sport, I gotta figure out if I should keep the tib (Is it worth modding for autocross, or does it have some crappy limitation?) - or if I should invest in another car for this sport! (I wonder how beautiful the new 2005 Stang would look auto-x'n)

Official Video - http://www.autocross.us/videos/BCC_01/Jason_Jackson.wmv

First Run

Second Run

Third (And Favorite - watch it!)

Dustin filming from inside on my 4th run

hehe... Go tib!

I was surprised I was able to actually compete. I didnt do bad! Not as good as the veterans in their Corvettes, or their strictly auto-cross vehicles... But better than a V6 mustang (2003gt's father), did better than 2003gt three out of the four runs... Go tib go!

A tuned ff only understeers when you are spinning wheels. I still think a Honda(or similar car) is the ultimate learning car. Small powerband(vtec) makes you learn good gear selection, decent power, and fwd makes you learn good throttle control.

unless you have an f22, which has more torque at 3 grand than a b16s peak torque
