My interest in autocross went way down ever since I learned you could pay 4-5x as much for a track day and get 15-20x the seat time. I still go occasionally to race or take pics, but I'm not interested in dropping boatloads of money to be competitive in my class. Cars I have autocrossed:    Sometimes the local club locks down a field and we go rallycross  The Eugene club is well organized and not prone to spergin, and in addition to the usual vettes, e30s, and camaros, there are a wide range of cars that show up for a race or 2

Raluek posted:Main reason I'm not too interested in doing this (and I defy all the people saying that any daily driver makes a great auto-x) is that 60-69 is the top of fourth for me. That plus manual steering and brakes would make it such a chore, it would be no fun. As was said before, with any given car its usually a 1-2 shift at the start and leave it in 2nd the whole way. Whatever your car can do in 2nd is your top speed unless you get into 3rd for a split second. You might see a Z06 on sticky tires get up to 70mph on a well designed course, but that upper limit is not for everyone.

I used to autocross with a club in Tucson, and the car safety inspections consisted of one guy asking a few questions: Does it go when you press to go pedal? Does it stop when you press the stop pedal? Do you have a helmet? Ok, you're good to go.

I recommend the Best Motoring style of camera angles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VstzlUWZnOI&t=1628s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx_TecmQHoM&t=142s The closest I could get to it with a couple canon point-n-shoots was this, and the main view is just not wide enough, making everything look slower https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gby9fg38BHk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBAXpyWWrk0
