If you want the video as a memento of you runs, then it's fine.

On a course where you do little to no shifting, get in the habit of driving with two feet. It saves a little time (very little, but you will find ANY time saved on an autoX course becomes valuable) when you can brake with the left and use the right for the accelerator.

Keep at it and you will get better and faster. AutoX is the cheapest legal racing you can do.
it was actually my mom taking the vidoes inside and out, she had a blast, and you are right about the heel toe driving, that is something i have to practice on, but each run i shaved a almost a second off, this coming weekend there is a larger track we are going to use, so i might be able to see 2nd and 3rd....i am hoping DJJSR will make it down as well...and again thanks for all the info you have shared.....
