What autox track are you running at? I gave up on tracks when the super speedway closed years ago.

NCM usually hosts most of the TRSCCA autocrosses. Its looking like I am more likely going to run a bunch of Chumpcar races as well. So probably won't hit very me AutoX's this year. Especially since my car won't be done until May at the current rate.

So I decided to go with a Corbeau FX1 Pro seat. Here is a quick video of me talking about the seat.

First real AutoX with sticky fat tires on the car. Sadly they rub and I was having fuel slosh problems in the carb. Other than that the car was so GOOD! Enjoy.

For anyone looking to get more info from this thread here is my youtube playlist that is pretty much finished but you can ask me something and I'll make a video on it. I do plan on making a video on the car as it sits now but waiting on getting a racecar out of my garage so I can do a nice update video on it.

playlist:
