Well, autocrossing in the parking lot at the Evolution Super Shootout over the weekend:

The last right-left sweeper complex was bumpy, really fast and really fun!

This was my fastest run, which was good for the win in ESP and qualified me 31st in the Super Shootout. This is a new autocross format that the Evolution Performance Driving School came up with this year. Basically, Saturday is regular class competition with four runs. The top 32 in PAX are locked into Sunday's Super Shootout. Sunday morning, everybody who isn't already in gets two runs, and the top 16 in PAX from those drivers get into The Shootout. The rest of the 64-car field is made up of the top four ladies drivers (if they aren't already in there), and finally random drawing. So you could be DFL in PAX and still have a chance to play.

The Shootout is then broken into a March Madness style bracket with four groups of sixteen with competitors going against each other for best PAX time. One group runs until there's one driver left, then the next and so on until there's a final four. Then they go at it.

I ended up winning my first round matchup but losing to the No. 3 qualifier in a CSP Miata. I figured I had to run at least a second faster than I did on my fastest run on Saturday, pushed a little too hard in one section and spun. Still, it was a fun weekend (albeit could have been a little better if it wasn't for the miserable heat!), and I'll definitely run this event again next year if it's in my area (this is one of four Super Shootouts this year ... maybe more next year?).
