This was my first actual autocross. There was a practice about a month before this, but since there was no formal instruction there, I didn't really learn how to do anything but make lots of screechy noises and grind gears in my transmission. This race was run on my OEM Firestone tires, which were really a joke by the time I ran this event. So, without further excuses, here are the results:

I ran in the Novice class, and finished pretty well since they use what's called PAX times, meaning you have your time multiplied by some magic number depending on what class you're in. This way slow cars like mine can (in theory) compete with faster cars and have a chance of winning because the times are weighted. I'll go in to PAX scoring more when I have some more time to break this stuff down.

Novice II Class Entries: 9 - Total entries in all classes: 126

Pos	Class	Driver	Car	Fast Time	FT#	PAX Time	PAX#
1	GS	Mark McCombs	96 Camaro V6	41.665	32	33.082	9
2	ES	Doug Rowse	91 Integra	44.683	65	35.344	36
3	HS	Brandon Smith	97 Civic HX	46.653	92	36.763	63
4	GS	Blake Peterson	99 Saab 9-3	46.663	93	37.050	69
5	ES	Chadwick Moeller	95 Neon	47.803	106	37.812	81
6	CSP	John Stallone	97 Jetta GLX	45.938	84	39.047	94
7	CS	Chad Mizuer	95 BMW 325is	48.555	111	39.281	97
8	GS	Chad Stone	93 Prelude	48.414	109	40.280	105
9	DSP	Matthew Berend	91 Escort GT	55.861	124	46.476	121

Now suppose that all the HS cars had run together in one big class. Well, there is actually an HS Open class, where just HS cars run against each other, but I was silly and did not enter that class even though I could have. Lets look at how all the HS cars did at this event.

All HS Cars, regardless of Class entered

Pos	Driver	Car	Fast Time	FT#	PAX Time	PAX#
1	Heidi Kmetz	94 Saturn	45.189	72	35.609	43
2	Judy Barnhardt	65 Corvair	46.425	91	36.583	62
3	Brandon Smith	97 Civic HX	46.653	92	36.763	63
4	Warren Schluter	96 Taurus	46.732	95	36.825	65
5	Jeff Laverty	90 Mustang LX	47.006	98	37.041	68
6	Greg Schupfer	64 Corvair	47.665	103	37.560	77

So, in wrapup, I'd say this was a pretty good race. Even with my lack of experience and inferior tires, I managed to do pretty well both in the class I entered (Novice II) and compared to the other HS cars that ran. This is what I'd call a good sign.
