An autocross is a muddy thing.

"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

I was in the KP61 starlet, had a great day but it was far too slippery after it started raining.
I was going nowhere on my last run and had to move off the course onto the grass or i would have got stuck...it was hopeless.

Heaps of fun though and ill try to make it to future events.

Distrb & I were sitting in the red Celica over the far side & were tempted to get out and walk past your car faster than you were moving, which wouldnt have been hard in those conditions :lol:

yeah, you looked like you were going quite well at the start of the day, but when the rain came it looked like everyone was going to get stuck :lol:

I know it's not fun in a 2WD when it's like that, but that's only the 2nd time I've ever seen it get that wet at that event, so come along to the next one and have some fun 8)
