Where'd you race today?
I decided to go autocrossing at NOLA Motorsports Park in New Orleans, LA today.
I arrived at NOLA Motorsports Park around 8:15am. Once I got registered and passed tech, I swapped the OE Forged wheels + Michelin Pilot Super Sports for my 18x9 Enkei RPF1 wheels + 275/35/R18 Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R tires. As usual, I got to work first. I ran in the Street Mod (SM) class again.
Weather was hot all day long with a few sprinkles of rain in the afternoon. The rain was not enough to cool us off or be noticed on the track surface. All racers got (6) runs. I worked first and ran all (6) of my runs after lunch. My instrument cluster indicated 90-91F ambient temperature during my runs.
Click on the pictures below to see the course map, raw results, and run results. I took 1st in the SM category by 1.139 seconds. Out of 44 drivers I placed 2nd overall 0.049 seconds behind FTD.
