Autocrossed the Cobalt for the first time Sunday!

Well all I can say is holy crap! The car handles real well. If it wasn't for me being a shitty driver I would have gotten a way better time. One run I plowed over some cones and about spun out. My best time was a 1:02.xxx. I got f'd in the classification department. Not enough cars for D stock so I got bumped up to A Stock. My competition was a Corvette, Porsche 911, Nissan 350z, STI, and a Mazdaspeed Protege. I was 6 secs off the fastest time set by the guy driving the Corvette. I finished last. There was a guy that lives on base here that was there in his SRT4. Both of us were not driving good at all and had pretty similar times. He rode along in my car once and he loved it. Next event is July 9th and I'm definitely going to be there. I just need to tone back the aggressiveness and I'll be set for some good times.

Well if you had a blast, then that is all that matters. Your times will get better w/ practice but congrats on your first attempt.

Yeh it was a blast being able to beat on the car whipping it around the course.
