The Great Autocross Mega Thread!

SI is more about having fun, learning the sport, learning your car, and becoming a better driver than actual competition.

Screw having fun I wanna win!

What kind of cars do you usually see in SI? Are many of them crazy modded with Rspec rubber and what not?

The majority of SI cars are your typical street-prepped daily-driver cars. There were a few Evo's in it last year which was fun. If a driver is good enough to handle a fully prepped car with R-compound rubber he's good enough to have already gotten kicked out of SI ;)

I'm trying to think who on this board has won SI; Matt D. and I both have, Spaz is working on it, Zac will probably try this season, and Ryan skipped SI and went straight to SM-T (will be running SM this year along with me). I'm sure there are more that I'm forgetting. I don't remember if Andres or Brandon competed in SI or not.

If I get a car that can actually go around corners this year I might give it a try.

Novice school registration opened this morning!

If you're interested in getting into or at least trying out the sport this is the best way to do it. Register soon because it fills up fast.

Registered! Almost forgot that it was opening this week.

Almost? I definitely did!

I'm going to compete in SI because there is no way I can compete in the SM class where my car should be given it's mods.

[cmspaz]

To win SM your car needs to be prepped for it. Your car's better off than mine is.

I signed up for SM because everyone else was SI. I wanted to win it, if only once. Too bad they don't do classing at schools.

Why go to those schools when go karts teach you just as well?

Spaz, if you do that school, and then go do an autocross, let me know. Because I want to drive your car after you and see if I can best your time. :)

I've been karting all my life and the schools are still very worthwhile. I did the novice school last year and will be doing the intermediate school this year. Not to mention, the 2-day school is cheaper than a few hours at the go-kart track. You can practice all you like, but when you ride along with an instructor and/or an instructor rides along with you and critiques you its a real reality check.

lol @ the lady who registered with the smart fourtwo.
