[QUOTE="VelocityYellowRules!, post: 65624, member: 1318"] Good afternoon B03Z06, Thanks so much for the comments! It is fun to do and even more fun to share and to let people see what the experience was like for me. I hope that I'll get better at taking videos in terms of placement and with any luck learn how to edit them so I can cut out the beginning and end and just post the good stuff! I do agree with your comments on the spacing of the cones and the width of the gates/boxes. But as I am dealing with a mainly import/compact car group they don't quite see it that way as it being a problem. I should really swap cars with them on a run and see how much of a difference it makes, it might be educational for us all. What I really need is to find out if there are some standards for cone spacing that I can go to them with otherwise they'll probably just think that I'm whining. They don't realize how much of a difference it makes if you have 12" of clearance on each side of your car compared to 18". While I probably have a power advantage autocrossing is not about power but about size, weight and car control. Their cars are much smaller, lighter and given how small the track surface area is power is not that important. It makes you wonder why it is they never see any domestics like Mustangs and Challengers etc. compared to Subaru's, Civic's, RX7's and Miata's. I don't mind a challenge but a level playing field is good to encourage others to participate. As for the car on the trailer, I both left it in gear AND put the e-brake on - come things you can't be too careful about. I probably spent more time looking in the rear view mirror than looking ahead and was at times expecting to see the back end of the car off the ramp of the trailer! I never used anything to protect the rims from the straps - I actually never even gave it any thought until you mentioned it! I suppose it would not be hard to use a small towel or old facecloth for this purpose. Has anyone ever had any problems with the rims being damaged from cargo straps that they can share?????
