So yesterday I was invited to attend the SCCA sponsored Autocross session at Gainesville Raceways Road Course... So naturally....I jumped on it!!!

The TL behaved exceptionally well, very balanced- great brakes even with 30k on them- there was a little bit of bodyroll too but that didn't stop me from winning my class!!!!

Woot! I have some vids and pics for you guys to check out... it was such a blast and I encourage everyone to try it. $35 bux for the time of your life in YOUR car!

I have to admit it is awesome seeing your car in full tilt

great job, looks like it did very well...

i doubt it by the looks of the mirrors, headlights, skirts, no lip spoiler and exhaust but then again i could totally be wrong.

csmeance

whoops, forgot to look at that.... but don't the seats look two tone?

skyy406

Nope not a TL-S. Its a 2006 TL- Navi 6spd.... With just a CAI and a homemade catback my car spanks the new Type S tho...

I live near Ocala Florida. Thats where I work anyway.

^ they look two tone because of the sun coming in from the passengers open window; but if you look at the headrest you can see where it cuts off - it just makes it look like a light silver..

nice vids.. anything of your car 'up close' so we can hear the tires and the engine ?

Nice work post the links to those other vids when they're done. I live up in Tallahassee. When is the next event??

Black_6spd

Looks like you had a blast.

Any plan of getting some in-car footage? That would be awesome to see the tach at the same time.

Unfortunately I do not have any up-close stuff. The next race i think i s being held near tampa in november- and if I drive the TL again i'll defanitly have an in car camera going@

Auto-x is fun, I just dont like the waiting 12 hrs to get in 6 minutes of seat time. (At least in my region) I've auto crossed all my previous cars. Im sure Ill get the TL out on of these days. What class does it run in anyways? GS?

TL Dude

Great post. Thanks for the pictures and video.

geekybiker

Well, he was running "N" at that event which is anyone who is a new racer.

According to the SCCA list, it runs G stock. RSX type S, audi a4, a6, a8, bmw 325e, about half the 318i series, c6 camaro, etc, etc.
