but yea, the zx2 only weigh's 2400lbs. and iv'e got every bar and brace in that car you can have without putting a cage in.

the best time i got that day was a 39.743 iirc
AutoX is fun until you realize that its really not about the car at all in the given class your in. Its more about the compound and width of your tires and how smooth of a driver you are.

(also in that video it sounded like you were slipping the clutch a lot.... That looked like a 2nd gear and leave it course.)
But welcome and hope to see you graduate from parking lots to road courses.

Stage 2? hard to drive in Lynchburg? think god I have not seen this ridiculous thing. I live in Lynchburg, hills are not a problem especially near Liberty.
