Re: The Great Autocross Mega Thread!

Autocrossers make better road racers, not vice versa.

Of course Viper owners are going to talk down on autocross. Most if not all of them have probably never tried it, and they probably all have money to blow on track days and yet don't really learn anything about becoming a better driver. Our local club has instructors that will ride long with you for free, can't ask for anything more than that.

How true this is! A few quick words of advice can really make a big difference.

Wasn't there a woman autocrossing a Viper at DCTC last summer?

Yeah, she was driving her boy toy's green Viper, and he was in his Ford GT. She whooped his ass.

I remember both of those from one of the Amery airport events. Very hard to imagine those cars at DCTC.
