It's almost an autoX course... A couple of videos from my ghetto in car:

Cool vids - your "ghetto in car" setup is actually a bit better than most of the youtube ones I've found. A bit shakey, but the details are a lil better.

How much more dangerous is it than an autox? did you feel you couldn't push it as much or there was a lot less room for error?

I'll be going to SoW soon... one of these days :)

I always push the car... I'm the guy that always spins at least once in autocross. The only spot that made me nervous (and it made me very nervous) was the down hill section with the berms. I tended to get a bit "lost" in there due to nerves. Other than that there is plenty of runoff everywhere. You do need to fight the tendency to "save it" - that's when you can get in to trouble.

Search youtube.com for "Streets of willow instruction". There is a really good video there teaching you the course. It really helped me to watch it.

Thanks. It's just a little 2056cc, but seems to have enough nut to be fun!
