Here is a vid from my most recent autocross. Check out the rest of my youtube videos for the rest of my runs. There are also some of my buddy's 535. Such a blast every one of you should give it a shot!


Also my autoX pics can be seen on my other thread:

Hope yall enjoy!

 

Don't you get nervous AutoXing on a course with trees, curbs, and light posts? I mean one spin into a curb would cost $2000+. I love autoxing, but only do it on open tarmac.

You're totally right about how everyone should try it! Cheap and fun speed.

I'm an ME student too

 

Slightly, Especially with it being my very first one. It worked out well for me though since I got there early and help set up the track. I also got to ride it once in a miata with the track designer. In addition to that the track designer rode with me for my first couple runs. Three events have been held in the same lot with the same track and no incidents yet. Although I did see an M3 alost eat the curb, he managed to stop about 4-5ft short of it after he got a little carried away coming out of a turn.

 

Thats whats up that your an ME student as well! How far along are you? You loving it? lol. I just had a Nature and Properties of Materials test today haha

 

Yeah! I'm still doing standard courses. This semester I have calc 2, linear algebra (FML), and physics 1. Still a ways to go, but I have all my GE's done. I planning to transfer to UC Berkeley or Cal Poly SLO...where I hope my autox experience will help me get a spot (and some seat time) with the Formula SAE team. I hope you did well on your test.

 

Thanks man, It wasnt too shabby. Sounds like we are near the same spot. I am in Phys1, Nature and Props, and a general engineering time. I have hung around our Formula team a bit but havent really gotten into it. Seems like a really fun thing to do. A friend of mine drove one of their cars, he hasnt gotten exited by a street car since lol

 

Man lotta engineering students here. I'm in my third year, thankfully I've gotten all the awful intro/general engineering courses done. Never autoX'd before, but I've done similar stuff at the BMW test track near where I live (which happens to be about 30 min from Clemson)...lotta friends at Clemson as well

 

wow whats with all the engineering students here lol im taking my first year at college with prep classes for mechanical engineering

 

Wouldn't happen to be Greenville would it? And yeah statics and dynamics for 5 Credit hours will be the death of me, next semester..

Its somthing else man. Just the field for car lovers, or at least thats what most of us think. Hopefully it works out since a lot of us are in the same boat haha

 

*i think you meant: a lot of us are in the same car

Groan. Groan. Groan. Har har

 

Lol I like.. I like..

 

yeah Greenville.

you planning on doing the iCar program?

 

Umm I really dont know at this point. In all honesty I am thinking about finishiing here and going to tech to pick up my auto tech certification then trying my hand at getting my master tech while im young. Using all this as a fall back. A lot of people think its a lesser job but its what I love.

 

Oh and my parents live in Mauldin so we are like neighbors haha

 

haha were you a maverick? I'm more specifically in simpsonville, so mauldin is like two min from my house
