Default my first autox in my S

I went on my first autox in my S this past sunday, it was TONS of fun. The last autox i was at was well over a year ago....this was at Grissom Aeroplex in Peru, IN. The course was awesome, I really liked it.

Im just looking for a lil imput on how i can improve...maybe i did somethin wrong thats catchable in the vids.

one good thing is I dropped my time over 5 sec. in 3 runs....i was pretty proud of that.

I watched a couple of your videos and have three main sugestions:
1. In the slaloms, turn in sooner so that you can get on the back side of the cone. You were late with your turn-in through both slaloms.
2. It's somewhat hard to tell with the wide angle view, but it looks like you should be closer to the cones.
3. Oversteer is fun, but slows you down. Either slow down a little, find a better line, or stay on the throttle, depending on the reason for the oversteer.

Also, as a general suggestion for the videos, mount the camera behind you, like you did in the trunk mount (so you can see your inputs), but use a less wide view.

It looks like it was a fun day for you. Keep at it and you will get faster.
