well yesterday we left the house at 4am for a 200mile drive to milwakee, when we got there at 7am i kinda thought we stood out a bit, there were evo's, sti's, s2000's, miatas,everything! our first 3 runs were crazy, i had 2 dnf's and i was 13 sec. off pace, my girlfriend was 5 secs faster than me, but after the lunch break it was time to get real. the last three runs were fast, i went from 84 sec. all the way down to 72.2. but!! on the last run, i pushed my hankook radials way to far and locked up the brakes, and plowed through about 9 cones while smileing the whole time!

good that you had fun, and just remember that your first time that you're not gonna be michael schumacher. the more you go to sanctioned events, the more relaxed you'll get and the better you will do. you start to get the hang of the auto and how to drive the car around the course? also remember the next time that sometimes driving slower is faster. by this i mean if you take your time (within reason) to do clean runs, you can be faster than getting all john wayne and murdering cones. some of my fastest times were the times that i thought were slow as hell.

now you need to get out and try a rallyx.
