Just showing off! And Billy watching paint dry can be fun! Just make sure no ventilation or mask and you'll be high as a mofo

I guess it is true what they say.....wet pavement decreases grip.
Looks like you were having fun - that's all that counts. |

Pricks! 
Not trying to show off... it costed me a couple of spots that weekend. But that was the only time I have spun out in the 20 something autocrosses I've done; I thought it would be educational...
It's not easy to f*** up and spin with this car... you are way more likely to understeer into the fence. Go try for yourself

I used to post good action shots and best run of the day videos but then got tired of them as they all looked the same. The spinning out was a little different so I posted it. Here are a few actions shots from the past. Anyways, I've stopped to auto-x in the Alero since I bought my Shinka.... I still have a set of r-compounds for the Alero to burn off, so I might resume in the future.

I have the OEM FE2 rear sway bar and a lot of grip.... under hard cornering it does roll a lot. Lifting however decreases with increase in roll... you need a soft chassis and stiff sway bars to lift. In the first pic my rear wheel would have been a few inches off the ground if I had the rear sway bars upgraded.
