Ah, you're still a bad man, Doc. ;)
I went to NNJR autocross last Saturday, I won AS but only because Mark Daddio was running in "Pro" class. I was 1.7-ish seconds off of his time. I was happy with my time, not a ton of time to find and I was being really aggressive with the throttle again.

I did my Philly region debut on Sunday before leaving quickly for the airport to fly for work. I was 2nd in AS because I coned away the win on this run. I got consistently slower after this run just trying to get a clean run. Oh well.

More autocross on Sunday! Then off to Lincoln, Nebraska on Wednesday for SCCA ProSolo Finale & National Championships :)
Thanks to Perry @ AutoX4U for the pics :)

One last brush-up before nats :) The 2nd link was my fastest run (run 5) but Run 4 (first link) was a better drive. Run 5 I was just a little more aggressive in some places so even with a couple of little mistakes I found a tenth.

I won A Street today at NEPA's Pocono event... and I came really close to winning the entire event too. Stupid cones... I hit 90 mph, wild!
Here's my fastest dirty run:

HA, never thought you'd see the top of 2nd in autox, lol.
I took a grinder to the struts and opened up the upper holes 1mm to get a bit more camber for SCCA A Street legal maximum camber. I didn't measure (I'm being cheap and haven't purchased the bigger wheel fitment adapter for my camber gauge), but I should be somewhere around -2.0 degrees now, I guess...

Checking legality with a little template I whipped up in CAD.

Current tire wear looks decent anyway. Better than my Focus RS was :)

My dad and I made the trek to Atlantic City for South Jersey Region autocross today. Pretty good course and a lot of fun was had. I finished first in A Street and 3rd overall. Here are my videos:

Still looks a little pushy off-throttle to me. More camber improve anything?
