it seems people will bring anything to a auto-x event. Its all about having fun with your car/truck/van if you ask me.

My friend is bringing his S-10 to the NASAs next event, he said it looked like to much fun not to try.

I am up against 2 89 Civic Si hatchs this season. Those cars, when set up right, bring in the fastest times.

This weekend was my first real AutoX, I was out there with Lberry. This guy was running a sea-foam green mid 70s Ford Pinto wagon, looked like it was going to fall apart!! There was another guy with a Yugo, some people said it was pretty fast, but I didnt see what he was running & didnt see his setup so...

WOW...Boilermaker1's track looks like it's a little more slalom's than we usually have, but Zzyzx's course looks EXACTLY like what we run at our DIA site...VERY FUN!!!

Hawk...WELCOME!! (If I knew then what I know now...start with TIRES!!!)

Yeah, those CRX SI's KICK ***!!! There was one this weekend, TOTALLY GUTTED, rear bumper removed and everything, like 12" or 13" rims....OMG....he was HELLA fast!!! But then again...he's also a national champion, lol. I'll post some more info/pics of his ride too. YOU GOTTA SEE IT.

BTW...anyone ever seen a SHELBY COBRA run an AutoX ? NO? How about 5....yes 5 of them run an AutoX event !?!?!? HOLY ****!!! THOSE THINGS ARE 1) LOUD AS HELL 2) FAST AS HELL 3) WAY TOO TAIL HAPPY lol

We have an event in Nevada (There are only 2 scca Regions here) up in Hawthorne.... Las Vegas Vs Reno. fun event. Every so often on of the local sheriffs comes and plays........... Slower then the H-Stock cars.....

FattyMcJ; that was my friends Digital Camera. He bought this suction cup mount that Vacumes out the air and supposidly can hold 90LBS (he says its good at taking dents out).

and those CSP CRX's.... You dont want to Konw what kind of $$$ people toss at thoes things to make them Compeditive at the nationals. The guy I'm co-Driving with this year use to have a nationally Compeditive CSP CRX, told me he had about $30,000 in the car.. Thats why I love STS, you can build a Nationally compeditive car for under 10,000 easy.

I vote for the autoX sub forum!! Maybee one in the wheels/suspension forums too, that would help separate the performance from the bling bling.

Well if they made a Auto-X forum (not sub forum) we could have wheel discusions, setup discusions, race discusions, it'd be a really good idea. someone needs to bring this up in the site sugestions forum. Zzyzx i nominate you sence you'd be the moderator and all...
