Auto-X

Man, i have to say. Auto-X is exhilirating!! nothing like going 50+mph sliding around a long right hander without having to worry about hitting anything. If you guys race touge and think you're fast, race the auto-x course and see how you fare. This really helps you hone your skills and its so freakin much fun!!

Today was my first auto-x and here is some pics.

Sliding around? Isn't that prohibited in most Auto-X's.
I have yet to compete in a Auto-X(other then mazda rev it up), but I can't wait till I do.

The older drivers complain about 240s clutch kicking it, but when a Miata does it they don't say squat.

I WILL be doing this one day. I don't want to hit a wall or anything because when i get my 240 it's going to be nice.

I also want to run 12's as a daily driver.

"Ya'll run fer money?"

LMAO. wow....good times jay. haha. bring out keira next time and see how she does!

Autocross john laid down a best time of 69.171 and my best was 71.817. so i wasn't that far off. they said i wasn't bad for my first auto-x.

haha. when i said sliding around at 50mph, i meant to say.....going around the turn....but the car is understeering...same thing.....i didn't mean like drifting....you want to get the best time possible so why waste time sliding?

thanks for the link, hopefully I will be able to make it to the one on Nov. 20th. That is if I have a rollbar by then, I need one to compete I believe.

Hmmm, I swear soft top cars need rollbars for Solo2 competitions, I guess I was wrong. Well that means I will be there for sure!
