First Autocross this weekend

[grant]

From my limited experience, slower has always made me faster. Be gentle into the corners, and you'll have a better set up to do what the Speed3 does best. Go fast in a straight line.

Yep. Title says it all. Headed up to Ft Devens to try some AutoX with the MS3 this weekend. Being hosted by a Renegade Miata Club and a local Porsche club. Hoping the car performs well.


Anyhow, I'm looking for any tips or worldly knowledge the group might care to pass along?

One last word of advice (20+ years experience here too), take your seatbelt, put the ltach close to the receiver then twist the latch (& belt) around once or twice. Then lock it into the reciever. The idea is to get it tight to hold you in your seat well.

It's better to focus your attention to what the car is doing then trying to adjust for where your but is going in the seat. Honsetly a good set of 5 point belts is one of the best investments you can make if you plan to do auto-x even semi-seriously.

yeah, or bring a vise grip, or snap it to lock, then slide the seat up into it

the point is this.
if you get get fast,... its nice to have your arms and legs doing car work, instead of trying to hold your torso in place
