Hey Peter,
I got you: go to the page and follow the protocol for changes needed. http://forum.nccbmwcca.org/showthrea...ed=1#post36450
BTW: Did you ever post the vids of us? I'd love to see the Maxima in action, lol.

Bottom line: the cones must be avoided. You had great runs and avoided the cones. Therefore you placed well. "raw time" does not factor in autocross, so that's why my coned up runs put me in "nor so much" territory.
Your driving was clearly better and you should not qualify your performance saying that my, or anyone else's "raw times" were better. You beat me fair and square.
Next time?? Maybe not so much
Enjoy it while you can speedy
While you are right that raw time doesn't count as far as technical timing goes you still got around the course in 46 seconds and that is sick and out of my league plain and simple (I don't want to belabor the subject but I feel like that's the truth). I am prepared to get my rookie butt KICKED next event and I seriously mean that. I am not half the driver as you, Woody, or Joe and that's a fact. I have a lot to learn and most of the time will be lucky to be within 2 seconds of you guys and that is the honest truth. It's going to take me a couple years to learn where I am making mistakes on the course. At this point I am just driving recklessly around the course and don't understand correct lines and things like that. If I take the correct line it's because I got lucky and just happened to be on the line and stayed with it, but it isn't because I was good enough to know to take that line because it was the fastest.
I apologize for the lengthy post, but I just want to make sure that some folks understand that I don't think nor have I ever thought that I am on the same level as you, Woody, or Joe and if I have ever come across that way then I feel bad for myself at the next event ahahaahaha.
The only thing I ask is that you guys continue to give me advice as to how to improve my driving and please don't hold back on giving me instructive criticism because it is the only way I can get better. I will now put this issue to rest on my end ;-)
We don't have these issues in T1. *grouphug*

I can't tell without the EXIF data but it looks like you had your shutter speed set to 1/250 or faster. That might get you motion blur if we were doing 100mph+ but for autocross speeds, 1/60 or thereabouts is probably what you want.
Having a fast lens also helps. If you like, I can bring my 80-200mm F/2.8 to the next event for you to play with. It weighs 2lbs but I can also bring my monopod. Just remind me before the next event. You have a D200 right?
