I was surprised that there weren't more cars there, and at the layout of the course. It's not anything like driving on a track. However, it only cost $35, and it's a hell of a lot of fun if you are at all competitive. I am, so in that respect, it's more fun that HPDE. I prefer HPDE, but it is great fun to compete and try to continually improve your time. I guess I could do that on the track if I invested in a lap counter. That's not a high priority now though.
The course at the tire rack was really spread out. Much more than any other autocross I've ever seen before. My only prior experience with autocross was those Mazda Rev-It-Up events where you get three runs on their autocross track in a Mazda 6 (or whatever model it was). Those courses were always much tighter than this one. It was fun as hell though.

I start with 34 front/38 rear cold and adjust as needed. I run R-comps with 245 front/275 rear.
I'll be running at least one (if not two) events this weekend in Gary with the Northwest Indiana SCCA. They have a new site at one of the Casinos which is comparable to the Tire Rack events in South Bend or the bigger SCCA clubs in Chicago or Milwaukee. If interested PM me for details. It's a nice club with typically 50-80 cars (may be a little bigger with their new site) and some pretty fast Porsches.
