Alameda PCA Autocross AX08

Just ran the October AX at Alameda with the GGR PCA.  I think this was the first time I had zero instruction.  I'm pretty sure I did worse because of it, will be interesting to see.  Thinking back and looking at my videos there are some spots I could have pushed more and taken better lines.  Ah well, learning.

The course was pretty cool and I found it pretty straightforward to follow.  There were some bits where you could get a bit sideways... I did that with an epic fail on my second run.  I need to learn how to slide still.  Actually I felt like I could have done it and was doing ok but as usual I overcorrected and didn't unroll the steering when I let off the gas... probably should have stayed on gas more....  see end of video.

I turned traction control back on for the afternoon to help my overzealousness.  There was also a cone in the first half I repeatedly hit...as did most everyone else.  I ended up switching course work position in the afternoon since that spot was super active.  I got my sprint running in I guess heh.

Here is the link to youTube video for higher quality....

Gorgeous new 991 Base with sunroof.  I wish Cayman had sunroofs...sigh.

Look close and you can see fellow course workers chasing off the Geese that decided to walk thru...while cars were driving no less!!!!

David's awesome Sharkwerks mod'd Cayenne Turbo... It was awesome watching it run the course with 3 people in it.  Also very very very fast.
