Cool... I just might have to show up and give it a try since it kinda sounds like fun. Any trophies awarded for "most orange cones taken out"?

Id bring the Syclone but the trans is in pieces all over the garage and Id have to bring a dozen or so ppl with me to push it around the course. Lap times would prolly suck [shrug].

My requirement is you must be able to do the track faster than 50 seconds or your dq'd lol My slowest was 49 sec even when I took out all the cones in the hairpin, my fastest was 42. The fasteset on that track was a BMW M3 at 38sec.

this track was a little bigger, it was pretty good, but I didn't get a chance to walk it, so the first 3 of the 4 runs I went off track ha.. managed a 68.xxx, decent for my first autox(my last run), fastest out there of all the classes was an STI with some pretty nice tires.. he got a 58.xxx..

I learned three things..

1.M+S rated tires suck for autox
2.understeer sucks
3.WALK THE TRACK!

haha..

I had a great time,my last run was the best also.I got a 67.xx,but I hit 1 cone,so add 2sec.This also was my first AutoX.On a side note,we went to Elk Creek Sat and I ran my new best times,four 9 flats.Oh,my car does not have power steering,that made the AutoX even more fun lol.
