Great time at an Autocross last weekend!

A good weekend! I changed from a 13 X 7 front wheel to 13 X 8 so I could run a wider front tire (Hankook 180-55-13 C91 compound). It really helped with the handling. The steering is a bit heavier, but the grip up front is seriously improved.
The tendency for under-steer is much less. It was most likely fixable with some driver improvement.... but fat sticky tires worked pretty well too!
The tires were qualifying scrubs. I picked up a couple sets cheap.
Anyway, here's a couple shots:

Here's a video of an F500 that was there also. A nice 360 degree spin at the far end!
