Default My first autocross vids!

Watch the third and fourth video... They rock. Wow. My first auto-cross has converted me from a drag-racer to a real racer. This was a blast! I loved it! You have to see the third video, I really put the car through some stress there!

Completely stock Tib. Now that I love this sport, I gotta figure out if I should keep the tib (Is it worth modding for autocross, or does it have some crappy limitation?) - or if I should invest in another car for this sport! (I wonder how beautiful the new 2005 Stang would look auto-x'n)

Official Video - http://www.autocross.us/videos/BCC_01/Jason_Jackson.wmv

First Run

Second Run

Third (And Favorite - watch it!)

Dustin filming from inside on my 4th run

hehe... Go tib!

I was surprised I was able to actually compete. I didnt do bad! Not as good as the veterans in their Corvettes, or their strictly auto-cross vehicles... But better than a V6 mustang (2003gt's father), did better than 2003gt three out of the four runs... Go tib go!

A tuned ff only understeers when you are spinning wheels. I still think a Honda(or similar car) is the ultimate learning car. Small powerband(vtec) makes you learn good gear selection, decent power, and fwd makes you learn good throttle control.
