Pics of Autocross

Here are some pics of the autocross that i went to last month










it was a really good time. I got second place in most consistant times. you got four practice laps and four race laps. the course was set up to be about 1/2 a mile and my times were all 60.002, 60.003, 60.001 you get my drift. i could not break into the 59's

yeah i would not do it with a new paint job. they set the courses up in huge parking lots and there are plenty of little rocks that hit your car while you are driving.

it was a really nice time. not alot of cars so the wait was not that bad. the course was tricky, especially the last turn. it was good becasue i really got to understand the limits of my car on a raod course.

I am pretty sure they don't do them at Metrozoo anymore. (Too bad, it was the best location).

I think they moved it to Hialeah.

Did you have the shocks set really soft ??? Your car has as much body lean as my stock touring.

Home many RX-7s are auto-Xing these days ?

Usually only like 5 used to participate, and they were like another 5 in the parking lot
