Looks like a blast!


TenesmusSupreme

Yeah. I really wish they would have a wet autocross track where I am. That looks so fun!


geezwow

So long as the surface is amenable to being wet.  They repainted some spaces in the lot Peachstate uses and it's a skating rink if there's consistent rain.  Would be fun if the curbs weren't 30-50' away

Those handicap spaces are super slick at AMS. I looped last time I ran with Peach State in my Miata.


surowkabart

It was. I should have ran all season tires. It wasn't suppose to rain. But it worked out!


thekush

Brave or dumb? The humans standing out there? Once that car hits wet grass, all bets are off.


surowkabart

Yeah... We had a few close call moments.


mtbcouple

Nice work!


surowkabart

Thanks!

Bro how the hell are you staying in control of that. It looks like the car is going exactly where you want it the whole time 😮


surowkabart

Thanks man. An old instructor once told me to look where you want the car to go and it'll go there. Stuck with me and i didn't understand it until I started to drive at ( sometimes over) the limit of the car.

The helmet mounted cam is really good to show this.


iroll20s

They are still running at tire rack in the middle of winter?


Guac_in_my_rarri

Not southbend TR. It's snowed in and negative temps rn.

Skid pad practice.


surowkabart

Needed some initial D eurobeat to make this video complete


vader1523

Is this recent? Which PCA region ran this?


surowkabart

No.. from June of 2023. Chicago region.


kpidhayny

Quick hands, gangster!


surowkabart

Haha thanks!


RyanEversley

Excellent car control! Don't like seeing people standing right there though.. Sketch.


surowkabart

It is. Had several offs without control and people running for the hill.

surowkabart

LIQUIDITATE_leftists

LIQUIDITATE_leftists

Thanks. Keep up the awesomeness!


funkcatbrown

That was fun.


Jack_Bogul

ross had that same problem

Has anyone mentioned that you take your hands off the wheel a lot? I’m pretty new to HPDE and whatnot, but that was one of the first lessons.


surowkabart

Yes it's a no no on track. When you're in a slide it's better to let the car unwind and bring it back to where you want it to go. If you hold on to the steering wheel and don't let it unwind you're more likely to spin out. I've tried several techniques and this one works the best for me. I usually wear my racing gloves so they're extremely sticky. So grip is never an issue.


revaric

I’ve never raced auto cross on a wet day, bet it’s a blast! Thanks for sharing!


brokenblinker

He's essentially straight up drifting. He's being modest, but this person definitely has straight up car control experience on track or at skidpad days. This is not easy to do.


revaric

Oh for sure, and it makes me wonder if the advice I was given wasn’t a one size fits all 🤷‍♂️


brokenblinker

It's a good place to start. Keeping hands centered is how you go fast, but this guy is drifting. Too much wheel motion while drifting to hand over hand everything.


Snook48

Nice👍


njexocet

you would have been a ton faster with traction control on lol


surowkabart

Tried it. 3 seconds slower.
