Some pictures from Saturday's event. More pictures on my blog along with all the videos of my runs as well. (And yes.. I know I f'd up the optional slalom.. If I did that right I could've easily gotten a 1'09 or even a 1'08... )

Jeeze looking at these pictures makes me smile, I cant wait to get started on AutoX... I dont know much about the classes or w.e. but id like to start at the beginner level and work my way up. Plus idk what class id even be in, the rules seem confusing and plus with all my mods already on my car as well... lol im looking at it for fun and some experience behind the wheel. I plan to start/ sign up on SCCA.com etc in like a few months... wish me luck...

Ive got alot of time to get better at driving... im still young, only 17!!!

WTB, I think you're fine for STX, if a bit underprepped. Your first season is a wash anyway, just run in Novice class until you get kicked out One local club out here lets you run in Novice your whole first season... unless you're me. I got kicked out for my last event of the year for winning by too much at the event before.

STX ehh from what ive read STX class seems intense... lol not to meantion I dont have a spare set of tires to put on for the events... I bought Goodyear Eagle GT's which are a "ultra" high performance all season tire, 400 treadwear rating. Doesnt seem too good for autox.

but then again I have alot to learn... First season would just be practice anyways... Slow in fast out, try to minimize tire squeal etc. Usually the guys that make the less noise are the fastest through the course. Time to put all my years of Gran Turismo to the test LOL wheres Alfy when we need him

And underprepped??? Jeeze what do I need to be "prepped"? heh only think I need to fully redo my suspension is sways with endlinks basically...

Nice cars!!! What is your experience with the 18 x 9.5 (+45) and tire size regarding rubbing or fender issues. I'm going to race my 8 in solo/autocross events but only with RB sway bars, no other mod in this area.

Thanks for your imput.
