AutoX the Fit...no pics, but great feedback

Well hopefully someone from the event took flics, but for now i want to share my experience @ my first AutoX
This was a Solo2 beginner class event that I attended and my 1st time at an autoX.
The 1st 4 runs were with an instructor and she told me that i was getting faster on every run...the course at 1st was confusing, but after 1 run i got the hang of it. We were not timed for the 1st 4 runs.

The course then was reversed and you were timed for the second half of the day.
4 runs:1st 58.7
2nd 57.8
3rd 56.4
4th 53.1 seocnds
5 seconds improvement not bad for a beginner
as i got the hang of the course on my last for runs I was able to improve my time...note my sig says whats been done to it.
The Fit felt very easy to control. Ripping around the slalom i could not feel to much body roll...the skunk2 springs held up good as they did their job making the car handle alot better than stock...i am a fast learner so when i got to know the course i just went faster on every run and it really paid off.

I felt very confident at the end and will be attending every event next year...number 1 thing for autox HAVE FUN!!!!! and the Fit is just perfect in every way...fun affordable and great for Sunday events!!!
If i am not mistaken i did not have the slowest time out there
