i used to be very heavy into autocross and even spent a little bit of time helping instruct. i definately miss the challenge and i am hoping my current DD shopping will net me something that gets me back to it.
i have also been lucky enough to do open track days before, i highly recomend it.

yeah, we need a team, or at least a group showing of f bodies. the club i go to is overflowing with rice. maybe, MAYBE six V8s out of damn near 80 cars are the norm.

youre in clifton, im in wallington. theres a rinky dink little club that runs in giants stadium on sudays. starts sun. 3/11 for test&tune, then 3/18 for points. $40 to run if youre not a member, lasts all day. alot of yuppies and ricers, though. we should definetely get a group of V8 f-bodies and make a showing. hopefully sometime soon i'll be ordering some strano susp. parts and be more competitive. we should make this like a dyno day or something, and get a good group.

reading mod FTW. This car... just straight line. If I had the funds this would be the drag car, and I'd have another 97 V6 for an autox car/DD
