Siskiyou Sports Car Club put on

another great season opening event! We brought our ’11 and ’12 cars, and took home a class win in AM (only 1 second off the overall record at 4:24.xxx!!!), Top Time of the Day, and a cool shirt! This event is unique in autocross for it’s 5 consecutive lap, one attempt format, placing emphasis on consistency as well as speed. It is also notable in that they run the same configuration every year for this event, meaning you can get practice beforehand.

Despite rain Saturday, race day managed to stay dry, giving everyone an equal footing. The rain during Saturday practice made for some fun driving, lawn mowing, and lots of spinning, with the consensus being reached that powerful, short wheelbase cars on slicks are hard to drive in the wet!

Pictures can be found here, and this is the video of the whole 4 1/2 minute stint:
