LOL! How'd it do?

I'm thinking: STS2, watch out!

64.4 was his best time. To compare, I ran a 59.0 on street tires (pretty sure he's running street tires too).

Experienced autocrosser or noob?

LOL no s***! Seriously though, I didn't think they had even classed the Smart yet...

 

[livelyjay]

Definitely not a noob, judging that his slowest time was 65.7 and his fastest was 64.4 (not counting his off course into the grass). This was out of region for us, so I didn't know too many people. Also, he was running in HS.

 

[TinmanMS6]

Any HS Minis for comparison?

 

[livelyjay]

It was a pretty thin day for cars. A HS Mazda3 on R-comps ran a 58.7, Mini-S on R-comps ran 57.4. Full results here.

 

[TinmanMS6]

All in all, not a bad showing for the smart. I'm going to guess it's completely stock as well. I wouldn't guess there have been any shocks or exhausts developed for it yet. I wonder how much tire they can fit.

 

[livelyjay]

I want to see it running 275s in the front.

ROFL! It'd probably flip.

EDIT: I'm finding a 15x5.5" stock wheel size for the smart. 225s?

 

[aMaff]

ROFL! It'd probably flip.

as in, the tires would stay put, and the car would flip around them?

Yes, a lot like that. When you give a tall egg on a stock suspension way more grip than mama Daimler intended...

Very cool, looks like a fun track...

 

[livelyjay]

It is, it's a go kart track with lots of banks and changes in elevation. Some people don't like it because you can't be very creative with it, but I love it. Here's a picture of the track, the course we ran was the entire outer loop:
