The beast takes 3rd in Class at first autocross
You enter a class based on a point system which is based on modifications to your car.
My car is actually a C class car, but with the track tires, it will be D class. So I entered D so I can carry the points for the year in D class.
I placed third with a 58.9 second run or so, second was a A4 with a statis suspension (and a 12v motor five speed) with a 58.8 or so, and class winner was either a low 58 or high 57 in a B6 S4 with the Dunlop R compound tires that I purchased.
If I would of entered C class (which I could of because I did not have the R compound tires), I would of won it by about 1/2 second.
I was running 15mm spacers up front.....won't be doing that again.....I think it worked the wheel bearings hard and the fenders would rub going over bumps (on the road and one place on the track).

Here's Bill's car.....he's the guy that won the class, look at how close his rim is to the pavement!!!!! And the back wheel is off the ground!!!

Two A6's
One a 4.2 and another 2.7T.
The 4.2 was a first time autocrosser, non modified ran a 1:05 and I don't know what the 2.7 did, but he was moving it around the track! They were both A class I believe.

Don't think I got disqualified on any runs, but did hit a few cones.
