I was the fastest stock car in Autocross today (many many photos)

Out of all the unmodified cars that showed up, I was the fastest. In my little Fiesta. There was an Elise, an old 911, and an S2000 CR among the entrants. I beat all of them. I love the new camera angles I tried out. I wasn't aware I was that good at placing my car.

THIS 911

trololol (that's a nice big V8)

The PSCC is definitely my favorite region. The perfect amount of people show up every time, the community is so friendly, and they always bring the coolest cars.

DISCUSSION (33)

Why is "Ladies" a different section?

Ladies can choose to run in "Ladies" or in the class with everyone else. The class just exists because usually only 1 or 2 women ever show up. 2 other women didn't run in the "Ladies" class at all.

That V8 Porsche gave me a confused boner.

The immense sound it make going around the course only confused my boner further.

Explain how you beat the Lotus. That ain't natural.

Not yet. Did you let the air out of his tires?

Not that I know of. Maybe he did though.

Kinja'd!!!

If I'm not mistaken, this is John Cohen's car, he organizes the NYR SCCA events

I think it is, because I was told by someone "the guy from the Nassau events is here today"

That makes sense then.

Like that time you kissed a hot chick at a wedding and then found out she was your second cousin?

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro

It's because your car is FWD

FWD is an advantage on cloudy days. Because science.

Now I did. It makes more sense now.

I'm sorry, Kristine. I didn't know.

I watched your video

Looked damp. Were the rear wheel drive cars struggling?

Placement has a lot to do with time, and it comes with experience. I get comments all the time about how tight I am on the course and how fast I drive the car and it all just comes down to running so many events.

The camera angles aren't bad but I dont like the car taking so much of the frame. I still don't know what angle I like the best

Brian Silvestro > Jayhawk Jake
10/27/2014 at 14:55

OMG FINALLY

Yeah there were A LOT of spin outs. I almost got run down by a Formula car twice.

Yeah I'm trying to figure out a way to angle the camera better, the car just dominates half the frame.

The morning runs were damp and gravel-y, but the afternoon runs were nice and dry.

I BEAT ALL THE STOCK CARS JAKE, DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND HOW GOOD THAT IS

Jayhawk Jake > Brian Silvestro

It depends on what all the stock cars were and the conditions. I mean if you beat a bunch of old MR2 turbos it's not a big deal

Brian Silvestro > Jayhawk Jake
10/27/2014 at 15:25

S2000 CR, Focus ST, 70s 911 of some kind, Lotus Elise, MazdaSpeed6, Miatas. The region is really slow with putting results up, or else I'd show you.

Jayhawk Jake > Brian Silvestro
10/27/2014 at 15:36

Not bad.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro

Also FWD increases your chances of getting lucky when out on a date. FWD makes girls more excited to be with you.

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari

I don't know about any of that.

Unless you met Ferdinand Piëch's granddaughter. She probably gets a free new Porsche once a month

PSCC is a fun group to run with. Like you said, just the right amount of car. I was in the black MS3 btw.

BTW: These are the results from the event:

DUDE YOU'RE IN THAT MS3!??!?! I always get so angry that you take PAX. EVERY time. You're a very good driver.

Thanks. I was impressed how you were tossing that Fiesta around. I'd probably be in a Fiesta ST if my first MS3 lasted another 6 months :-/

Thanks. It's a really fun car. It's amazing how much I can get out of it in it's stock form. I just took it rallycrossing for the 3rd time yesterday.
