Well, with joe mentioning autocross on the front page, I thought I would post a few pics from our last one. It was lot of fun, and quite fast. The course was designed by a Z06 driver, so of course it had lots of sweeers, and several optional sloloms. (I know I can't spell, owell) I did eh, but who cares.
I drive a 91 honda CRX with 7 lbs of boost pushed through it. Of course the suspension is race ready with adjustable shocks and much stiffer springs. I run on Kuhmo Victoracer 700 tires. Here are a few pictures from the last couple to give those who don't know what it is an idea. ![]() Last edited by dantheman; 08-08-2002 at 04:40 PM. |

Yes, It was an SCCA event. It was done by the local club that I am a part of, SASCA (or San Antonio Sports Car Association). It was held at the local drag racing strip. We use their staging lanes as a parking area, and race on their parking area. It is a huge lot with lots of potential.
Yes, you can go with trucks. There is a guy who is local who drives an S-10 every now and then, but he has a corvette engine dropped into it and one heck of a suspention job done. VERY fast truck. In College Station, they have a truck class that they run so people can run whatever they want in it. They get everything I hear from rangers to 3500's. Anyone in the area of texas needs to show up to one of these and at least tell me how much I suck at it. We have a site for the local club at www.conehunter.com . The schedule and maps to the place is on there, along with links to other clubs. |

Now I'm wishing I had hung on to my ZX3, that looks like fun.
Can't see my diesel Jetta being too competitive, but my insurance agent has relaxed now. ![]() |

well, it might. My G/F has one, and they are not too bad. I bet you could turn that turbo up quite a bit and get it really moving.
