POV: Cone Carnage!

POV: Cone Carnage!
Once upon a sunny weekend, I found myself hurtling through a maze of cones, leaving behind a trail of orange casualties in my wake. Yes, it was autocross day, the day where the smell of burning rubber mingled with the aroma of freshly mown grass, and the sound of engines revving drowned out even the chirping of the most persistent birds.
Now, I must confess, I wasn't exactly the Michael Schumacher of the event. My car, bless its stock heart, wasn't exactly a race car. No fancy camber adjustments or slick racing tires for me, just good ol' street tires and the unbridled determination to make them work harder than they ever should.
As I slid into 7th place, I couldn't help but marvel at the sheer talent of those ahead of me. The winner's time seemed as unreachable as the speed of light, while I trundled along with a respectable but humbling 73.157 seconds to my name. But you know what? It didn't matter.
Because autocross isn't just about the numbers on the scoreboard or the position you finish in. It's about the camaraderie of fellow petrolheads, the adrenaline rush of pushing yourself and your machine to the limit, and the sheer joy of carving corners like a hot knife through butter.
So, as I looked back on the day, I couldn't help but smile. Sure, a few cones may have met their untimely demise, and my podium dreams might have been dashed for another day. But in the end, it wasn't about winning or losing.
It’s about the drive.
