Will you actually be going to the strip (with and running your car) this year Swifty or will history once again repeat itself?

Hey we tried to setup some drag meets last year. We actually had good turnouts, but Hughes was the only Mod that I think showed up, which was at the MAP event :)

[Kracka]

Yup, that was a fun day too, I just wish my clutch hadn't broken a few days previous since I wanted to at least participate in their auto-x.

[Halon]

I suppose better at home then at the track tho eh? I had enough fun replacing an axle there, couldn't imagine a clutch job :)

[Kracka]

Very true! I definitely had fun watching all you guys run though.

[mlomker]

Whaaaaaaat? Is it too much for a straight line, too?

He has coilovers so I assume the car can turn. At the HPDE that I went to there were a couple club racers hauling ass but I was handily in the top 1/3rd speed-wise and it was my first time on the track...with a bone stock X.

A lot of the turns are 2nd gear but I generally drove the whole course at 4k+ rpm so spool might not be such a big deal. With E85 and a tune I probably won't even need to shift. :D

A note to Scheides since you mentioned the Test n Tune AX days. They are awesome days to go on, run until you just don't want to any more. But you need to be a MAC member to run a TnT, it's an additional $30.

I would highly recommend taking the novice school to anyone interested. You will get 16-20 runs, with an instructor for every run. There is also an instructor run period where you can ride with instructors, or have them drive your car if you want. This time period almost always ends up with an EVO or STI with 4 people in it.

The novice school is the best way to get into autocross; period.

I'm in for several events this year, won't be going to Iowa every other weekend for the first time in years, so I should be able to attend a lot more.

IF I still have the Talon come spring, I'm for sure going to drag race it, but I'm not sure which car to autox. The Talon can turn much better but has significant lag, whereas the Caddy has instant wheelspin power, AND way better brakes.

Hey! I was ready after staying up all night for the last RF event, but it got rained. So, there. I hope this year will FINALLY be different, but again, my situation keeps changing..who knows.
