It went pretty well. All 4 runs were clean, and the car was extremely neutral and easy to drive. This course was ridiculously fast for an autoX, and I got up to 90-95 in one spot. I heard that the really fast cars were nearing 120. I didn't have time to tune it or adjust my PSI (which I found out later was probably too high) but that was OK since I was still figuring out how to drive the car. My lap times were like so:
1:48
1:45
1:41
1:37
So I'm not really sure how fast the car could have gone since my times weren't near evening out. I'm guessing if i had a few more laps and had the PSI lower I could have gotten bottom 1:30's that day. When I was driving the car I never had to use more than 75% of the braking ability so it had a lot left to give.
Next I want to get the caster bushings to make the car less twitchy but I have high hopes for the escort next year.
I don't have other car's times yet, but I'll post them when they're online.
