First Auto X of the Year

Couple weeks ago I decided to hit up the first Auto X in my area. Ill be honest Ive never really been a Auto X kinda guy, but I am trying to focus hard on details of my driving skills after doing alot of research on the great Ayton Senna. So I am in this mindset now that any seat time is going to help hone my skills in. So I convince my girlfriend to go with and drive here Civic and being a girl she invited her friend who had a Civic as well. We had a blast! Now they want to go to the next event I am glad I got them into a hobby they enjoy too! Showed up to the coarse they had setup saw the layout and got pretty excited because it was a pretty long coarse. Misfortune hit because some of the Fire Extinguishers were not properly charged and we could only use a portion of the coarse, so that was a bummer. Also part of the parking lot had been newly re sealed and it was super slick, but we can work through that. All our times improved as the day went on and I started working out some kinks. I had some understeering issues throughout the day, but completely forgot to soften the front suspension I believe this would have solved it, I realized this on the way home with a Oh Shit! Duh! moment. Sure enough I peeked down at my EDFC and it was set pretty stiff still. It always dawns on me in confusion when I get to something like this and look around and the lack of modded cars, because how many times a week do I hear people say im buying this or that part to make it handle better and all its used for is to make it handle better parked somewhere I guess? So lets see some more cars with mods on them next time. One of my favorite cars there was a super charged E90 M3 Holy Chit! What a beast! Looking forward to seeing this at a track day coming up soon. So I am very excited to try to work on my times at the next event I hope to see you there!

Looks like the next event is Saturday March 26th Millington Airport in Memphis TN. So if your going let me know and will try to get some sort of dinner plan made.
