Hello everyone on the intrawebz! Just thought you guys would enjoy some pics from my recent autoX.

Full album of pics(thousands) can be found here: http://chipthurston.smugmug.com/AutoX
Here are some of my favs!

Sweet man what tires are you running?

I am running Kuhmo Ecsta V700s 275/40/17 all around. It is a great entry level R compound tire. These are my first set of Rcomps and the difference is night and day compared to summer tires(had KDWs before). Now I just want to squeeze a little more tire in the rear like 315s and try something like hoosier A6s :boink:

Yes that is me in the mustang! It is funny I am the only guy that usually comes out in a mustang and I am asian american(stereotyping is funny I think)

I have yet to autoX with my 315s but I know that the fender lips would be slicing the sidewall (haven't rolled them) and I'd be rubbing the inside of the tire pretty good against the inner wheel well.

+1 Fender rolling is a must on 94-95 cars for sure. My buddies 98 doesn't rub at all, weird!

Looks good!! It is kind of ironic that you in the only Mustang, no offense! It needed more Stangs though!!

I love your wheels!!!! I always have loved the 10th Ann!

Thanks for the compliments guys! I rarely see 10th annis on sn95s, I know there was someone on the boards here with a Black SN with those wheels on and I loved it.

Yep, I am currently located in Iowa City and am from Des Moines originally. Adventureland is definitely one of our better lots for events. We are going to be holding an event at the Iowa Speedway on June 8th also! Cannot wait for that one. :banana: I also went to an Iowa Region event at Waterloo Greyhound Park this past Sunday. Always alot of events to make it to every weekend around here and people say there is nothing to do in Iowa, HAH!

Urban I think I have actually seen your car in CR before...I am always on the lookout for clean mutangs :dancing6:

And to all of yu thinking about trying an autoX, stop thinking and start doing!! It is the easiest way to get into motorsports. The driving experience, the amount of driving knowledge, and all the friendly people that are eager to help and talk about sports cars all day long is definitely worth the measely $20 entry fee! Just go to SCCA.ORG and find the region nearest you and I am sure there will be tons of info for that region and the event schedule. IT IS A BLAST!

I run with the Des Moines Valley Region(DMVR) of SCCA. If any of you Iowa guys feel like checking us out go to DMVRSCCA.org thats our homepage and there is a link to our forums. We have a pretty active forum and we are all in Iowa.

You guys rock!
