I was glad to see it looked like you had good weather (mostly) at the autocross yesterday.
Was it fun for both of you? |

We had a blast, and the weather was perfect. Just a few clouds, never a hint of rain. The course was completely dry and because of the threat of rain, the turnout was pretty light. I ended up with six runs and Miranda had five, and everything ran right on schedule. It was a great day.
This was the first time she ran the car in Full Power mode...caught a couple powerslides just beautifully, and was definitely smoother than me in a couple spots. She did great.

From your pictures, I see concrete and asphalt. Was the course on a mix of the two surfaces? That would make it interesting.
I ran an autocross (with another car) at the Dropzone in NY. The surface was older concrete. It was like coarse sandpaper and the grip was unreal. The cornering and braking limits were so much higher that you need to recalibrate. How did the ZR-1 do in B Stock compared to the other makes? |

BS here is mostly S2000s and bmw z roadsters and coupes, all stuff that's a lot newer than my old Chevy. They are also running r-compound tires and I'm on my Nitto streets. Ok enough excuses. ![]()

Wow . I would say that Miranda has a few very jealous friends . Whipping a C4 ZR-1 or any car around a circuit or auto cross is no small feat !!!
Those S2000's are pretty light cars ... Congrats to both on your ZR-1derful day out ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Yes she does. She's the only one among her crowd who can drive a 6 speed, including the guys, and definitely the only one who has done a full power sideways drift in a Corvette while in total control of the car. Of course it took her a couple 360+ spins to learn that!

I applaud you for introducing a new generation to autocrossing. =D>
There's learning that takes place that has helps in everyday driving. And spending time with them takes them away from the screens! |
