Oh, its just an autocross. Course with cones and you compete for time in your class. Pretty simple really.

Nice Rx-7. I can't wait till the auto-x season starts up here again... Damn winter. We are susposed to have our first auto-x with the college club this weekend.. but I don't think it will happen... plus the Rx is still in storage. looks like you had a good time... and thats all that matters

Yeah, it was freezing cold, and the wind was blowing. The cold pavement was really slick so it was fun to get out there and slide around haha

I think that autocross is really fun. I just competed in my first meet this weekend, and I am already addicted to it. About how long was your course?

it was fairly long I suppose. About 30-40 seconds long depending on the driver. Which I guess....is really short, but for an auto-x it was a good course

Yeah I was running C-street prepared. Thanks for the comment about the car. Its not perfect to look at, needs a lil work, but is great to drive of course. Well, there are never many cars in CSP. This day there were three, myself and two neon srt 4's. I lost to one and beat the other haha!

Lan- no, I dont believe I know your friend, nor have I seen his car. Perhaps he races in a different region?

I like your member name and car (looks just like mine)!

I'm likely going to start the autocrossing game this summer sometime... if my car is ready (I'm currently having the engine and suspension overhauled). I'll likely run up here in the Northern VA area, and perhaps even make it down to Richmond every now and then.
