Here's a video of the First lady running Autocross for the first time. OK, this is actually her 3rd run.

On her first run, she launched at about 5K rpm, and was hitting the rev limiter all the way down the first straight. It really made me cringe, but it was also kinda funny.

We both had a blast and can't wait to do some more racing.

And so the addiction begins.

I can say I remeber when it all started.

Kinda like "I want to keep it basically stock...."

Oh, she can launch hard. And she knows exactly where that rev limiter is...she has tested it a couple times. http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd144/rpretzel/Emoticons/eek.gif The shifting fast part is a bit problematic though. http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd144/rpretzel/Emoticons/blush-1.gif
