Autocross

The hubster signed me up for a driver's school for autocross. Wikipedia defines autocross as a timed competition where drivers navigate one at a time through a temporary course marked by traffic cones, rather than racing on a track with multiple other cars, as in road racing or oval racing.

We woke up asshole early on my day off to get to OSU campus by 7 am. If you know the hubster, he is definitely not a morning person. There were about 20 instructors assigned to 47 drivers. They walked the course with us and rode along on our runs. It was a lot of fun and really getting to know what my car can do was very interesting. I got over my dislike of loud cars and association of negativity to squealing tires.

I achieved my goal of not being the slowest one out there. I think I clocked in at a respectable 63.3 seconds. As a reference, my instructor rsn the course in 55.5 seconds in a car made for autocrossing. For my first time, I think I did great.

I did get yelled at for squatting down while a cone patrol. I think we can add this to the things Elaine and the hubster can do together. I think it's fitting that I made him pick up snowboarding and he had me do this. Although, I think we could get some cheaper hobbies.
