I would like to thank everyone for their advice, I hope it continues. But I think their is a misunderstanding here, I'm not agaisnt autox, I was just stating it wasn't gonna wait to track it till I autocrossed, I just want to get out their. As it turns out the next event. Happens to be a autox at fontonas autoclub speedway, already registered so I can't wait. Had it been a track event say at willow springs or somewhere, I would have jumped on that, but as fate would have it autox will be my first legal racing experience, well besides going straight for a 1/4 mile, or in my case an 1/8 miles....I wish ponoma would hold more events for the public to run

I understand. I think I was more talking to the people that were giving the advice.

Anyways, sounds like your going to have a good time.

My best advice for Auto X (or track). Know the track. Walk it as many times as possable. Till you can walk it with your eyes closed.

After your first run and waiting for the second. Sit in your car, close your eyes and picture yourself doing the next run. All the braking points. All the turns.

This will give you more time to deal with what the car is doing in stead of trying to find your way.

Have fun, and let us know how you did.

AutoX is hard to do with a modified 7 if you're making any decent power. I was having such a shitty time when I upgraded from stock turbo to a bnr stage 3. Couldn't use the power anywhere and the course was just a pain to stay in my powerband...ended up having to drive the course staying under like 6k.

If you have a stock turbo it's pretty fun though.

In that case I pray u brake a rod next time out and it shoots right though the front of ur block, and ill take you on in a month since u think your so hot with that heavy, off balanced machine that shamefully resembles a rx7
