Default What I did last Saturday!

The wife had a charity event last Saturday. It was for American Heart Association. It was a Car Show(which did not happen due to no one showing up)Drift, and Autocross.

I decided to make one run on the autocross. It was my first time and I only ran one lap. Overall disappointed with what happened. The tires were spinning most of second gear and about 1/4 of the course. I finished 18th out of 19th. LOL I know pretty bad but my first time and only ran one lap.

Hopefully I can find some spare 17 inch rims for super cheap soon. Then my Boss is going to let me have a set of his old racing tires which should help with the wheel spin. Then I should be able to do better next time.

I had a fun time. I was hoping someone would take a Video of my run but that did not happen. But here is a few pics of the run.

Street JUNK BFG's But since the swap I have had 3 different sets of tires and they all break loose easy. I really need a diff though. But until that time the race tires should help some.
