OK. I'm pretty nervous. I'm going to try to autocross for the first time at the Porsche Parade in Charlotte. I need advise. My biggest concern is seeing the course layout. And overdriving. Or being laughingly slow. How should I approach this? I've been reading "Solo Driving Secrets", and done a couple of DEs, but an AX is so condensed. I think if I missed something I would get lost in a sea of pylons.
Anybody wanna guide me down (then over, and back, and over again, and back, and around to the left, then back down) this asphalt path? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |

Well, sometimes you need to see it on course to understand what it is saying. Yes, upright cones you have to go around and the ones laying down are pointers cones. You really can't trust the cones for the apex. Really need to figure that out on your own. That's why the AX courses that are lined with calk seem dumb to me. It really seems as if it limits the line you can take. You should come up when we have an AX at Bremerton or go to Pacwood and see. Some of the berst drivers in the nation come from our little area. JP sees the big dogs every time he goes out. I get to see them most of the time but not always.
