AutoCross hints n tips

[my_bd]

I've recently started auto-x solo II
lots of fun n frustrations of course.

currently I'm classified as DS and I'm the leader of my class!
oh...wait a minute.....I'm the only one in my class!
arghhh....oh well....

anyhow, just wondering if any of you that have been auto-x'ing for a while in the RL could pass along any little hints n tips about handling the RL in auto-x.

thanks

Haven't run my rl yet. But there is always one out where i go. He told me that the best thing to get is a good set of tires. He runs 16" wheels (off of the l300, i think) with..... azenis of course.

run 42 psi in the fronts and 45 psi in the rear tires. Find an autocross school and sign up for it.

video tape yourself and see what you can do better, even if it isnt a real course and ya got land or a buddy thats got some room ya can test on or something, just learn from your mistakes too.

And check them after every run. Some people bring hudson sprayers out to keep the tires cool, and the pressure more steady before a run.

AutoX tends to have two meanings, the more common one, refers to people running smaller courses, usually defined by cones, in parking lots and such.

Alot of people also call regular Road Racing AutoX as well.

The books I read call them AutoX and Time-Trialing.
