Video of a spin in my Pro at an autocross

[cojsl]

Watch for the spin at 57 seconds. Too high rear pressure + cold day + trail braking = 270 spin The reason I didn't try to counter steer it is that frankly, it totally surprised me, and I went straight to "both feet in"

"what does N00b stand for?"

The starter always had something funny to see yesterday. I had a "n00b" sticker on the side of the car because we formed a "Team n00b" for this year's team autox.
What's even more funny, is that the team captain was next behind me, so the starter tells him "The guy ahead of you had n00b on his car, so I'm gonna give give him a few seconds extra head start"

I'm tall enough that the mirror blocks my view looking ahead, so I have it turned to make it as small a blockage as possible
Some racers also turn them to resist the temptation to look back to see if they hit a cone.

Back when I had the Green pro, i use to run 40Psi in the fronts and 50 in the rears, that thing would spin like crazy if I wasnt carefull. My second autocross, I had a right into a hard left hander, and wound up countersteering as i made the right, foot to the floor the whole time. Nothing was as cool as all those guys whooping and cheering as the little $1000 pro on rotas drifted gracefully around.

I miss auto-xing that thing.

That's why I don't turn mine around.

Nice spin! I can't wait till the season kicks off here.
