Where'd you race today?
I decided to go autocrossing at Cajun Field in Lafayette, LA today.
I arrived at Cajun Field around 7:45am. I swapped the OE Forged wheels + Michelin Pilot Super Sports for my 18x9 Enkei RPF1 wheels + 275/35/R18 Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R tires. I then got registered and passed through a quick tech line. This particular event had 98 competitors, so we were split into (3) heats. I got to sit out the 1st heat, then race, then work. I ran in the Street Mod (SM) class again.
Weather was hot all day long with a few sprinkles of rain in the last afternoon heat (while I worked). The rain was not enough to cool us off or be noticed on the track surface. All racers got (5) runs. No lunch break. I got (7) runs because I stopped to point a cone was down (from a previous competitor) on my 1st run, then the timer had an error on my 3rd run. My 5th run was my quickest.
