I'm just returning to Autocross after a 20 year hiatus,(well actually my
son is autocrossing his cage kart). Nothing appears to have changed. you
may only get 6 mins of seat time but it's still the most intense 6 mins
of your life. The work assignments don't seem to have changed much. You
still have 15-20 mins cone chasin between runs. Then as now I view the
cone chasin as classroom time, You get a front row seat to look for the
fast line and how to avoid the bad spots.
Maybe this is comparing Apples to Oranges & karts to cars but as a
comparison,We normaly race ovals, seat time between practice heats and
features total about 13 mins. twice as much seat time but 3 times the
cost and according to my son half the fun.
