Got to run my Firebird at an Airstrip.

I got to knock some rust off, and ran my Firebird at an Autocross held at an airstrip in Ellensburg WA. It was awesome! It has been a few years since ive been dodging cones, i usually just run track days now.

I made a few changes to the car and wanted to test them before hitting the road course. I had an alighnment done to my specs right before the event. i also installed adjustable panhard bar. it really helped. my car handles way better. see for yourself

Yeee ha!!!!

I did some of this many years ago. The best one was at an airport. Would love to take the current car out, but not until I do a few things to it.

This was definitely the fastest Autocross ive ever run. I have never hit third gear for so long. the club i run with only has one event at the airstrip a year. they usually hold events on a old 3/4mile circle track.
