I think that was me. 
I did better though at the end, started from 70ish and finished up at 66.5 on my sixth run. I need to work on my breaking, I always caught myself braking too early. 
That was a lot of fun (except the long wait). But I can't wait for the next one, hopefuly I can get close to everyone's run time.

Don't worry. You'll get faster with more seat time. Nick just started in May, and he got some good times.

I was thinking of someone else. So, that makes it two. Don't worry. You'll get faster with more seat time. Nick just started in May, and he got some good times.

I've never actually seen anyone down shifting at an AutoX. Kinda interesting to watch.

it's essential to have a good heel-toe to even get it into gear
