Ok...completed first official autocross. Class TDS, (D class, street tire). Times were 50.1, 50, 48.7, 47.4. Don't know how this compare to others. The official times are not posted yet. See my gallery for AutoX photos. Good handling car, I think the driver needs lots of seat time. Planning on another race this weekend. Spouse will probably kill me for leaving home again... :roll:

It's great to see another Crossfire in action!!!

Did you raise your tire pressures? I've found that mine has about the best grip and balance with 38 psi rear and 42 psi front. It really makes a great deal of difference in your time. And making sure your traction control is off. I've forgotten to turn it off and it added over 2 seconds to my time. Now it's part of my mental checklist to double check it before I get to the starter.

About 25 is where I would start and see how that does. You shouldn't have much of a problem getting the tires to bite.
