June 4, 2007: It's autocross time again.
For the first time, I had another Seven to play with at the autox. The car - the FM Westfield demo car - is down on power compared to mine, doesn't have years of setup and Bill isn't much of an autocrosser. Doesn't matter, it's still fun to have someone to play with.

The course was a pretty good one. Not as fast as I'd like, but it's a narrow venue so there's not a lot of opportunity for high speed. There were three "turnarounds", cones that were basically the center of a 180 degree turn. This was a busy moment for me, as I was at maximum braking from the fastest part of the course, double-clutching down to first and (sometimes) pulling the handbrake. We all got 10-12 runs on the course, a hallmark of this particular race group.

Those with sharp eyes will notice that I'm running my old Falken Azenis tires. This is important.
