My general reaction when I saw it was 52.1! Oh and I wasn't last in STX again! In other news, FRSs with much much better tires(RS-3s, MPSS, Rivals) were only 1 to 3 seconds faster than me. MUHAHAHA

I forgot to mention I came 4th in class. Out of 5 :P

If you can keep up with the ones with better tires, than it must be not-terrible!

I will be not terrible once I beat them!

I've only ever been second-fastest so far...never number 1!

Except that one time I brought the Boxster. Then I destroyed that class..of one car.

I have come first once, that was when it was raining, and there was only one other dude in my class. I could have came first another time, but that was in my old class CS, but I put loud parts on and now I am in STX. . . Either way, I have no idea if I am absolute shit at autocrossing or am fairly competent. I should upload some in car videos.

I don't think PAX is really helpful.

There's no way I'm good enough to come in 2nd in PAX. Not happening on my 4th event.

I am not talking about PAX times, I don't I will ever come first in those! Although, I remember a event held by the Corvette Club and Purdue's car club. I was 29th out of 60ish. So basically middle of the pack! I was very happy about that!

Yeah, neither was I until I brought it up. My first AutoX at college is tomorrow!!

I probably do have 5 days of hard driving..... if you add up all my time doing it, and removing anything else

But seriously though, I am trying my damnedest!! I am not the best, but hopefully one day I can be! And then I can rub it in your face!

Enjoy, it is a great place to make friends. . . if you talk, which I am not good at!

Brian Silvestro > YSI-what can brown do for you
08/23/2014 at 18:27

Neither am I!

(by the way, waaaaay more people talk to you if you bring a new Porsche. But I don't have that car.)

Well once in a while someone comes up to me to tell me they like the way my car sounds. I got a compliment today, it made me happy.

The only comments I get with the Fiesta is "they sell an ST Fiesta in the US?!" or "Oh, the Fiesta ST, yeah, I have a Focus ST, it's the bigger, more powerful one."

(I beat both of the Focus guys that talked to me about how cool their Focuses are)

Yeah, not many people want to talk to the FRS owners, probably because there are 10 billion of us at the event!

Brian Silvestro > YSI-what can brown do for you
08/23/2014 at 18:36

Yeah, there's 3 cars I can always count on to represent a bunch at any given AutoX event.

86s, S2000s, and Miatas. I've never been to an event in which those cars weren't there.
