Cool What does a world championship Auto-X run look like

THIS


San Jose local Scott Frasier - DOMINATING SCCA Nationals winning both solo 2 and pro solo in his CSP Miata.

I want you to look at how close he gets to the cones in those slaloms

Scary fast, especially considering the car has less than 200HP

Nice, what are they doing with that chrome looking fake wall? Keeping people from looking at the setup?

It's a thermal blanket - probably using it to keep the tires hot

High horsepower totally does not help in autocross. You're typically only going like 40, 50 mph max anyway, and it's almost as if autocross was invented for Miatas - lower speed, super maneuverability.

Not saying I'm that good, but it is pretty cool to see how close you can get to the cones without incurring time penalties (for competition)...

That looks like a super fun autoX course. Question, why do you wear one glove?

I was just going to ask what was up with the Michael Jackson style.
