A Very Fast Autocross Course in our Project Mustang GT

Now that is the kind of autocross course I like.

No getting lost in a sea of cones in a tiny parking lot.

Reminiscent of road course, if they did that around here I'd be in but otherwise cones ain't my bag.

Nice Mustang build too.

Nice run! And nice course...

Ahhh, too bad we couldn't hear the engine after the first few seconds!

That's a nice course. I'd stand in the sun all day for that.

That is the first autocross course I can imagine getting myself through without getting lost. "Cone blind" is every bit as much of a reality as color blind.

That said, the odd time I do hit the autocross, I love doing monster spin-outs and murdering cones without having to go to jail, so it is still money well spent. Apologies to the cone chasers when I run.

What an awesome venue!

The moving camera mount totally messes with my head though.

Yeah, I gotta get a sock for it or put it inside or something. View is great from up there, though, and it's easy to reach. Sounds like crap once you;re moving, though. I'll figure something out. That car deserves to be heard.

Mount is actually fixed. That's just the image stabilization trying to keep up with vibration and various forces. Looks like the whole thing is gimbal mounted, doesn't it? I really like the Garmin VIRB for a lot of reasons, but it does have a few downsides. The GPS is terrible for autocross type stuff. It's laggy, and can't resolve such sudden speed changes and direction changes well enough. On a road course it's MUC better, but in the tight confines of an autocross it's a bit overwhelmed.

Reminds me of the Challenge course in 2003 and 2004. Made me pucker a few times.
