Where'd you race today?
I decided to go autocrossing at the Lamar Dixon Facility in Gonzales, LA today.
I trailered my RS to this event. This keeps the miles off the RS and eliminates the need to swap from street wheels/tires to my autox setup. I arrived at the Lamar Dixon Facility around 6:00am to help with course setup. Once I got registered and passed tech, I walked the course a few times. Our local SCCA chapter splits up the runs into (2) heats. I got (3) runs then worked. No lunch due to 66 total racers and only (1) car out on course at a time due to course layout. Session B ran all (5) of their runs while I worked, then I ran my final (2) runs to complete the day. I ran in the Street Mod (SM) class.
We all got (5) runs today. I love Cenla SCCA! Weather was a 68F cool morning, but opened up to a 83F sunny afternoon.
