The Great Autocross Mega Thread!

The Solo rulebook has everything you'll ever need to know. Just remember, if it doesn't explicitly allow it, it's not allowed: http://scca.com/documents/Solo_Rules/2009_Solo_Rules.pdf

If the car came from factory with a non-ABS option, I as far as I know even stock class could get away with the ABS delete. However, I'm under the impression that all 2G AWDs came with ABS standard, so you may want to look into that, as I believe trim level plays into it. If you want a definite answer, post a thread in the rules section on the MAC forums. Someone there'll know for sure.

I had a blast at valley fair last weekend. I placed 2nd in SI for the forth time, I guess i'm destined to be a loser..haha. My car drove amazing, it was the first time I autoXed it with my new coilovers. They helped the chassis out alot. On the way home I noticed I was only running 12 pounds of boost, and I have no idea when it started doing that. Thats a bummer cause I only missed first by .050 of a second, full boost could have gotten me that win.

I will be at the July 5th DCTC event for sure.

What happened to Matt D....Do you still AutoX???

here are a few pics I scored...

Thanks for the pic! After only hitting one cone all day my painters' tape seems to be a bit excessive ;)

The expression on your face is pretty priceless. Not something you normally see on course, lol.

Here're my shots from M2 on Sunday: http://www.flickr.com/photos/29843549@N08/sets/72157617620791717/ That's all I felt were postable out of 2000, but hey, it's certainly a better ratio than the last event I shot.

I am kinda curious what I am doing. At least it looks like I am having fun!

It's called looking ahead. Looking where you want the car to be (in 50-150+ feet) instead of what the car is currently pointed at. A good thing to be doing.

I got a spot for Sunday's Test & Tune event at DCTC! They opened up 10 more this morning so act fast and register if you're interested.

Argh, I was planning on taking Emily's car since the event was full. Now I want to autocross but she made plans with her mom on Sunday.

They posted the official times from last weekend in Iowa. The A-stock s2000 with hoosiers dominated the stock classes. They didn't have a street tire class.
