Short video from last weekends autox

Hey guys.... just a short video of my fastest run from last weekends autox at Metlife stadium. This run was good enough for 4th overall and 2nd in class.

Very nice, looks like a relatively fast and long course, but not too technical. What exhaust do you have?

Yeah the Metlife stadium parking lots are huge so they can design really fast flowing courses. They are really like mini road courses and they are a blast to drive. This saturday they are doing an autox under the lights.... I have tracked in the night before but never an autox. Should be interesting.

The exhaust is well worn SuperSprint race cans, SS x-pipe, stock section 1 and ebay headers

I've never done autox, but watching that video makes wonder how people follow the course w/those small cones. I can see myself driving on the wrong side of the cones or driving slower to think about which way to go next.

Its not as hard as it looks in the video... you figure out the course after a couple laps then it looks less like a sea of cones.

Thanks man! I love the way she sounds but i might toss the stock xpipe back in. Only because of how loud it is when i am trying to drive spirted on back roads. I am pretty sure you can hear me for a 10 mile radius even if i short shift.

Key is to look forward, 2-3 turns ahead. But yes people occasionally get lost lol.

Yea no way you'd pass Lime Rock's dB limit lol. We should meet up soon, curious to see how much louder your setup is. I had to install a 2nd resonator just to keep things down to a civil level.
