Coned away my 1st ever TOP PAX - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I've never gotten top pax at an event. Been 2nd once and 3rd a bunch of times. Had the speed today but I hit the 3rd cone on the last slalom just before the finish. Still won my class and came in 3rd in PAX out of 142 cars. I always look like a nervous wreck behind the wheel and to me it looks like I'm going 5mph in my videos lol. Any critique is welcome though.

Looks like an EXCELLENT run as usual. I need to do a camera setup so I can see how close I'm coming to the cones. I get the feeling I'm way wide and it costs me time. I really like that long, scenic course. The one I play on is just a giant skid pad. In AZ we're done until the fall so I'll be watching your vids to get my Auto X fix!

Nice job again! Love that track lay out there and you have a lot of spots the Z really shines stretching her legs.....wish they would set some courses up around here like that but most are a lot tighter here.. Keep it up!

We drive 236 miles each way to race there. We have 6 other regions that are closer but nothing compares. The group loosely follows SCCA guidelines but they make the tracks however they want to, they fly drones occasionally, and they give out tons of stuff at the drivers meeting and the "challenge" runs at the end. Not uncommon for guys to get a 10% off summit coupon at the drivers meeting and then win the challenge at the end and walk out with $200-$350 in cash.
