Where'd you race today?
I decided to go autocrossing at the Joint Emergency Services Training Center (JESTC) in Zachary, LA today.
I trailered my RS again to this event. This keeps the miles off the RS and eliminates the need to swap from street wheels/tires to my autox setup. I arrived at JESTC around 8:00am. I then registered and passed tech. Cenla SCCA split up the runs into (2) heats. I ran first. For the most part I no longer work the course since I am a Cenla SCCA board member, but I help set up each course the day before, set up timing/scoring the day of, and take everything down after the event. We had a 1 hour lunch break. I ran my final (3) runs and then watched the final heat. I ran in the Street Mod (SM) class.
Weather started with a 59F sunny morning, peaked with a high of 80F. It was sunny all day.
