Autocross, FTW!

I would have taken shots for this assignment at last weekend's rainy CalClub event but my co-driver (and car owner) was sick so we bailed on the weekend.

Great shot!!! The perspective makes me go back and remember the little "Penny Racers".

Autocross in the rain is a ton of fun! I like your presentation here.

It's amazing fun - with classes from regular daily-driver to full-blown race cars - my wife has even autocrossed our Honda Odyssey!

I've been autocrossing for 12 years, the last 10 at the National level (got 6th in class last year at the national championships). Here's a slick video one of the series' sponsors put together:

Cool sport and nice shot. I wonder what a slow shutter speed would look like for this? It would be nice to show some of the motion because in this image the car looks like it could be parked.

Limit is there but it doesnt mean you can't find a way around it a lot of us run turn down pipes on the exhaust,so when you pass by the sound stations around the track the sound is diverted away so I can still run my catless evo and get no meatball flag for it lol!!
