 TSSCC 2004 Event 4 - A Wonderful Solo - Videos

On 07/10/2004 I attended my second official autocross event with TSSCC. This time Bob was there and Ben brought Emily along as well.

Here's a picture of Emily on the right. And below is a nice little video of Emily chugging along the course. Unfortunately, a large van blocks view of half the course but you can enjoy the red VW and blue Prelude that pass by before Emily pops back into view.
 

Here's a picture of what I look like while I'm driving with my big helmet covered noggin. I rigged up a tripod in my back seat and fashioned a steel cable harness to secure it for about $20 at Home Depot.

Here's are videos of my first three runs.
 

Here's all three videos side by side so you can compare runs. These were my first three runs, so they're not my best, but you can see how in run 2 I cut about half a second off my first time, while in run 3 I had some trouble.  

Official Results* (overall) | (by class)
  1. 43.781
  2. 42.953
  3. 44.186
  4. 42.825
  5. 42.736
  6. 42.110**
  7. 40.117
8th Place in Street Tire class*
38th Place Overall*

* I'm pretty sure the official results are incorrect, due to some timing problems during the 7th run. They originally gave me a time of 37.x which is WAY too fast for me. Then they said 40.117 (underlined), but I'm pretty sure my time for the 7th run was 44.1 or so.

** I believe this is my actual best time which would place me 16th in Street Tire class and 60th overall. Here's a picture of the trophy that I apparently didn't deserve. Oh well.
