We had a special event called Endurocross for autocross in Wichita today. It's just like normal autocross, but you do 3 laps per run. This essentially means you run for nearly 3 minutes. It was amazing! Here's 2 videos of my best run
That video is from a camera mounted to the windshield. I also mounted a go-pro to my helmet. This worked....okay. I need to mount it lower and move the mirror. Interesting to see my eyes so focused.
I don't know how I did compared to everyone else. From the times I was hearing I did pretty well. Then again, I don't really care, it was fun. I'll edit and upload more videos at some point.

The helmet cam view is actually really cool.
Here's that video I was telling you about earlier:

Okay, that looks fucking awesome. I really, really want to do that.
Although driving on a dirt road today made my car fall apart. There's an extra hole for a wideband sensor on my new downpipe, it has a bolt in it to plug it, except it doesn't anymore. I basically drove home with an exhaust leak.

So did Orlove!
He was going SO hard, he actually would've won 1st place if he didn't hit so many cones.
You HAVE to do it. It has changed my whole perspective. I prefer RallyX over AutoX by far.

That seems inconvenient.
Get your region to start a rallycross program.

We don't have a venue. All the open land around here is farmland

That looks awesome! In most autocrosses I only get a feel for the course on the last run.

This was so different. I felt like I always was better on the last lap. The first lap was as intense as any AutoX run, but halfway through the second lap I relaxed into a nice rhythm and just drove

Farmers wouldn't want us to destroy their land

The weird thing is, the guy just planted a whole little field right where that Subaru is. There was sprouts of neat rows coming up from the ground.
well...not anymore

It might make front page if the damage was bad enough.
