Performance Driven

There are no times at the Test and Tune. It is basically a chance for guys to setup their cars for the normal Auto-X events. Gainsville is a very cool track with the proper tires and suspension. I will probably be out there either driving an STi or my buddys RX-7. Hope to see some of you guys out there as there are hardly ever any RX-7's out there on race days.

How many runs would one get per session? Will there be cones set up or just a empty road course?

-Todd

-I think I answered my questions, its just all up to how many show up that day. Just like the test and tune drag strip. Maybe ill be there also. Jack, Tom, Eddie they around anymore?

tamers1

Depending on the amount of people. Last time they got like 6-8 runs, and several probably more. There are cones set up. It's sick though..

Here is a pic of the track/road couse
what they do is just put cones at the intersections and then change the cones in the afternoon .. they might change the starting position which also changes thing up ..
