Re: Autocross Nov. 21, Salem Civic Center, Salem, VA (charity autocross)
I've figured out a way to get myself a new clutch, LSD, and tires..
Might make an appearance. It would be my first actual autocross too.

Rain or shine dont matter to me. Done a few but never in the rain. Hope every one comes out. Give me a reason to wait all day to run lol depending on group/class. All first timers get there early trust me it helps so much

My first autox here in wilm was half rain half sun. 
Its so fun to drift a 180 deg turn in the rain w/ a fwd lol...if u can call it drifting.
When the timer screwed up and nobody could get they're runs timed, I decided to do a run and see how many of those cones I could take out in the 180deg turn. I got all but 1
!!!
Word of advice tho, they seriously frowned upon my having fun and all the other people that drove stupid, like the kid w/ the TT Supra who couldn't keep it on the track. and the kid w/ the old Turbo RX-7 who liked fish tailing around every possible turn he could, and spinning out several times. Afterwards the head of the meet lectured the remaining drivers who stayed for the fun runs about driving stupid or showing off and how it makes it harder for them to find locations where they can hold these sancioned (sp?) events.

I'll go, and race, whatever. Don't know which truck I'll be driving though. If I get the X-Runner before then it would be a pretty good time to test it out I guess, but if not, the S-10 can hold its own depending on what class they stick me in. 
Can someone pm me a list of requirements(inspection, fees, yada yada) and where to sign up at. I'll compete if I can pass the inspections. The X-Runner will pass, but I'm not sure about the S-10, its seen a few too many launches and its starting to take its toll on the tires. But I got a new clutch in it yesterday! Much nicer than the centerforce.
