autocross sunday
there is a scca event at a warminster P.A. this sunday i will be going also 1qwikbird will be making the ride. The lot is a airfield of large size should be fun. Philly events usally get over 200 cars so register a soon as pos. go to autox4u.com and click on the philly region logo. We need to get more f-bods out there, even if your car is 100% stock. get out there I can tell you its the most fun you will have racing a f-bod. Autocrossing is one of the few places that you can race heads up with no budget and be competitive on a national level. If you can drive!!

i really have to get an autocross car again. 
he isn't kidding about racing heads up against anything. they ahve a national indexing system that uses a simple equation to equalize cars from any two classes.

Congrats on the win today in your class. Not to bad with junk used up tires. Nothing like watching some guy in an all wheel drive car slide it into the grass. Definately a blast driving as hard as possible and not worrying about whacking curbs or hitting anything more than a cone. Thanks for hooking me up today. One day I will get the hang of this turning stuff. I was still carrying mad speed through the end.

yeah congrats to esp198 for the class win (there were only 4 cars in your class..hahahaha.....someone has to win though  )....and thankfully me and vegaken showed everyone what it means to bring mad speed through the finish line (even when you miss the last set of cones,  ) good day, good fun......and no one, not even the car, got hurt....brakes might be at the end of their life, but brakes are cheap....The spec clutch seemed alright (I drove it nice for 750 miles leading up to today, that should be enough to break it in) so maybe Friday night a trip to Atco will be in order and we'll bring the drag radials and see if there is an 11 second time slip in that pig.....
