2010-04-10 GGLC Autocross

Video from the Golden Gate Lotus Club autocross last weekend at Great America:



I don't compete for points but my best time of 49.210 was good for 19th out of 68 timed drivers. Considering that I had not autocrossed since 2008, I'm pretty happy with my ranking for the day.

The course was....Interesting. There was a lot of gravel in the lot and the lot itself was nowhere near level. After my first run, which included my first controlled four wheel drift in the Lotus, I commented to the timer that I should have brought a rally car. I was seriously considering trying to pull a handbrake turn in the hairpin right-hander about halfway through the course. Not that I know how to pull a handbrake turn....
