Running around cones

Check out this video of a autocross run we did. They kicked me out since my car was too loud?! WTF! So my friend let me use his 997s.

Cool video. How hard is a course like that to follow with only cones?

I have not done many autoXs, plus I must be a hick; how else other than cones do you lay out a course?

You have a 16 yo driving at the PCA Citrus X's over in Orlando (I Think) and he's good.

It can be a pain in the *** the first few times but you get used to it. Nothing compares to the track though ... that's the best! So fun!

Paint?

Its sorta like horse showjumping though. You use cones to set up gates. It allows you to easily reused a section of pavement (usually a parking lot you cannot paint a track on anyway). It takes some getting used to driving at flags/cones vs an invisible line between curbs/road edges.

Yeah.... that was my friends car that I was driving. Here are some videos of what my car sounds like. I have a fabspeed muffler bypass which is mind altering LOUD. The videos don't do it justice, trust me.
