it's amazing how much of a difference springs make. My buddy has trouble keeping up with me in the twisties in his rx-7 (full coil-overs) and all i've got is Eibach (i think) springs

I've done some unofficial autoX with a few local scca members. Just let me know my skills need honing :) and my car needs more suspension work!! It's a helluva lotta fun!!

Not a big fan, but I road race instead. I just think that you get a lot more seat time road racing, for not that much more money. Dollar/seat time is definitely more in favor of road racing. I know a few members on her do auto X. Ciotti does it, and Madtang (right screen name?) too I think

Move to Socal. From where I live, WSIR is 70 miles, Cal Speedway is 68 miles, and Buttonwillow is 120. Problems solved.

I'm waiting for my SuperSports and then I'll be terrorizing Mid-Ohio and K-Mart parking lots everywhere.

I used to auto-x. Kind of over it now, I like door-to-door open tracking now hehe.

2 hours away from you is Heartland Park, in Topeka. Head out there and do some NASA HPDE.
