Today at Carlisle, there was an autocross held by the Appalachian Sports Car Club (backed by SCCA), and we co-drove my '87 244 on street tires. It was cool but sunny, not a bad day for driving fast. The course was technical and the car generally lacked rear grip in relation to front grip. Rarely was understeer a problem. On my out-lap (pace lap with flying start over the start/finish), I managed to set the car sideways in the first corner without really trying at all. The format was 3 "runs", each of 3 timed laps. Total of 9 timed laps.
Best times:
MikeT:24.5xx
MikeP: 24.6xx
FTD: low 22's
Perhaps news to Mike...but after he left, Greg told me I did a 24.5 on my 2nd to last run in that 3rd set of laps. My final run was a 24.650, but apparently not my fastest. So I think I did beat you...
Pics of Mike driving:
Round 2 is scheduled for June 11th on a larger/faster course with r-comps. It should be close again.
