It was sunny and hot, but fortunately, not yet so humid. I was competitive with the other MINIs that were running, but I wasn&#8217;t up there with the top 15 this time. No grip on the dusty course (at least that&#8217;s my story and I&#8217;m sticking to it&#8230;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3564\/3564377023_2ebcf8e693.jpg\" alt=\"behind\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see that the course was quite dusty. It started with a clockwise half-loop into half a figure-eight and another half-loop into a short slalom. Across the top of the parking lot through as series of tightly spaced off-set gates with a quick right-left-right-left, followed by a loop to the finish. You sort of get a feel for it from the video, but the camera mount is too low to see the cones. I&#8217;ll have to figure out another way to mount the camera in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"CDC Autocross, 23 MAY 2009, Run 6\" width=\"950\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QQA_Ez8AoHg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/groups\/capitaldrivingclub\/\">CDC group photo pool<\/a> for the photos of my car.
