I like the yellow Ferrari. How was the last right hand turn right before the finish line (how fast were you going)?
Coming into that last right hander (turn 12) I'm near the top of 4th gear, so I'm probably going around 90-95mph. That corner is down right scary though. Once you come over the hill you are pretty much committed to the speed you chose coming down hill and into the right hander. The elevation change is drastic. It doesn't look too bad in the video, but it really is like a roller coaster. As you can see, if you judge your speed wrong coming into 12, you'll be greeted by a nice cement wall on either side of the track. I know I can probably take that corner faster, but I just ran out of balls. I didn't want to play with the limit on that corner too much.

Nashville SCCA Auto-x this last weekend... Basically a single lap track day, with a few cones. Relieved the itch for a day, but I need to get signed up for my next honest track day.

Nice! That's how every autocross should be. I really wanted to make this event. Are they doing any more this year on the track?
Autocrossing when going back to its roots is supposed to be a small course, tight, slow, and very technical. Sure these track days are fun, but the Tennessee Region keeps on building faster and faster courses, which tend to really cater best to the high horsepower cars. In catering people get this illusion that faster and faster is better. Sadly you're losing a lot of the really great and talented small course drivers.

Here's another one from the Speedway.
At 6:40 I was coming out of turn 9 onto the banking when the rear end came around on me at over 100mph! The banking helped to catch it, so everything was fine. It definitely got my attention though. I started getting a little sloppy. Check out 11:05 and 17:15.
