Yesterday, I competed in a JCNA slalom event. Salom is like an autocross but the course does not change so you can compare your times with people all over north america.

It was my first time driving the Jag competitively and my first time competiting in a couple of years and I had a blast.

here are some pictures.

 

Ooooh, looks like you were going for it.

Great stuff.

 

It does look like the car is getting a work out.

 

Thanks for the nice comments.

Yes, I was working the car pretty hard and received some nice compliments on my drifting (aka power sliding) technique from some of the other competitors and spectators. The combination of low weight, lots of torque and skinny all-season tires make the E type a bit of a handful compared to other cars that I've autocrossed.

The car held up beautifully (and the engine didn't even get particularly hot) and I ended up putting about 300 more miles on it last weekend.

 

You had fun , good to see the pics

 

Slalom reminds me of skying skills and the word used when I was watching snow games! I love to be on track with that gold model of Jaguar. Great stuff there!

 

Looks like you had great fun!

 

Man I salivate every time I see a pristine XKE, particularily a second series red one. I would trade my 2004 convertible for one in a heart beat if I could find the right one.
