I'm no pro, quite the amateur actually, but love autocrossing.
Haven't had a chance to go in 2015, but did it in 2013 and in 2014, and here are some videos from those runs, which were all at Fort Devens in Ayer, MA.

My first time out (no blower at the time, running 275/40/18 Conti DWS tires), and it rained:






7-15-2014, with the Whipple on, 305/40/18 Nitto 555R's on the back and 285/40/18 Goodyear F1's on the front:




And yes, my girlfriend autocrossed her Shelby last year too.
She had a blast, and I have a short clip of one of her launches, what a bunch of guys called best launch of the day, female driving a Shelby and all :)

Yesterday the fiancee and I finally went back to autocrossing, our first event in almost 2 years, and it rained in the morning.
And we were both running drag radials on the back, so needless to say the times weren't great.
But we had fun nonetheless.
I had my GoPro camera recording on the roof of my car again, and its shitty battery lasted through a whole 3 runs before dying on me, so I only got to record my slowest runs of the day, the first 3.
Well, here's the video of the quickest of those 3 runs, the 3rd run of the day.
I had a total of 10 runs during the day, I started with a 96.048-second run, 2nd was 96.043, this run was 91.739
In the afternoon on a much drier track I got it down to 85.68 seconds, good enough for 5th place in a 15-car Novice class. That 5th place got me a t-shirt that says on the back "When I race, cones fear me" :)




And a few pictures from yesterday's event:

That looks like fun. I'll have to check around here for one of those. Especially on a airport.
