I'm taking my Srt-6 down to Columbus, IN tomorrow for my first time autocrossing. I'm gonna take it pretty easy since I've not had much opportunity to familiarize myself with how the car handles that much abuse - and it's my daily driver so I want to be extra careful. Should be fun though. Any other Crossfires planning on being there?

 

Little advice, use morbrakes then you think going into a corner, and use less throttle then you think going out of a corner

 

Thanks! I appreciate the tips!

 

It looks like I'm a bit late for any tips, lol. Hope you had a blast. The best tip for starters that I know is look ahead, keep focus/vision on your path that is defined by the cones, but never directly at the cones. Oh, and be smooooooooth.

 

thanks guys! i had a great time! i was a lot slower than i wanted to be, but managed to not come in last, lol. i was taking it pretty easy though since i have to drive it to work tomorrow, but i had a lot of fun!

one question though, when you guys do autocross do you have the traction control on or off? i left it on this time because i was being extra-careful as I was getting a feel for how the car performs. however, next time i go i want to push a little harder and i'm guessing TC off is necessary to do that. thoughts?

 

At the line; TC off, gear set to 2nd, AC off, a couple of deep breaths...............

 

Off. If you leave it on youll have no power out of a corner.. even when its off our srt's sometimes try and keep us in check

 

Makes sense. Thanks guys!
