Wink Cone Killer on the loose, hide the women and children

Took the Truck Autocrossing, first of the season, first with the truck, wow is it different from my 99 GA GT...





Ran ok, but damn I got thrown around, had to hold on to the center console not to get tossed out of the truck on right hand turns.
This truck is soooo sooo easily to throttle oversteer and it is easy to control also.

The bad news, they don't know what class to put me it, but what it sounds like it is going to be Street prepared F, this is Modified Mustangs and Corvettes, can you say not fair, but its fun all the same.

P.S. I didn't kill that many cones, I kill 3 in all (Max of 4 runs allowed), and had two clean runs.

Steve,

Where are you doing this? Maybe I could bring my baby out next time and we'll show those Corvettes

Yeah, you get tossed around a bit, but there are a few tricks that I've found make it easier. If you're not big, roll up two towels and put one on each side of you between the bolster and your side. Then, move the seat all the way back and fasten the seatbelt. Yank it so it engages the ratcheting lock and crank the seat forward. At this point, you should be pretty much pinned in.

Put the gear selector on 2 and leave it there.

Go Go Go !!!
