2001 Ex takes 1st place in class.

Ok, at this point I can say..... any one of us who thinks our cars are slow, is doing the wrong type of racing.


Why? because I just got first place in my class (STS) last weekend!!!!! and I was almost 2 seconds faster then any one else in my class!!! (1.86 sec to be exact) also, I placed 24th in raw time (Vs everone there) and 9th in the pax adjustment!!! I made Top 10 PAX!!!!!!!!! Woo HOOOO!!

any way Heres all the times of the people in my class

class # Name Best PAX Cones
sts 409 Spencer Stroyer 32.534 25.507
sts 338 Nhan Thai 34.394 26.965 1
sts 293 Robert Kile 34.626 27.147 1
sts 625 Randy Harrison 34.646 27.162 1

Ya, Autox is lots of fun. I just dont have the time anymore. I wouldnt mind getting a second set of tires and begin to AutoX again. Well congrats on the placement. Keep the rubber side down and you will continue to do great things.

SlammedBlueEM2: San Frrancisco Region SCCA

you should be able to find some events there.


old beater, what do you want to know? there are a couple of members on the forum that autocross regularly and Im sure any of them would be more then happy to help you. I think Boilermaker1 lives in Indiana, Fort Wayne I think (I don't know how close that is to you), he might be able to point you to an event.


robbclark1, good luck at the next event. And Spencer is my middle name.

You dont need any suspension setups!
See, autocross is probably 90% driver, probably more. and any suspension mods you do now, before you start, will probably not help you much. an example of this: My friend Drives a stock Mitubeshi Lancer OZ rally edition. he races H-Stock I race STS. STS should be much faster then HS. up untill the last event he was as fast if not faster then me on average.

Then there's the Solo2 chair. He drives a Stock Hundi Tiberon also in HS, He is on average about 1 to 1/2 second FASTER then me.

My point is that when you start out The only thing thats going to make you and your car slow is......YOU and any suspension parts you add will only(maybe) shave off a few tenths of a second. and It will also Slow down the learning curve(Because it will allow you to get away with some bad habits and still be relitively fast.).



Just go with what you have now, onece you get use to that.. then start moding the suspension.
