Congrats again, Auto-x seems addicting as hell because everyone that does it just gets a crazy look in their eye and say they want more.

There is a reason the local events always fill up and there is a waiting list of people wanting to sign up in the morning of every event. If I recall correctly, Ryan, myself and Hughes (Kracka) all started around the same time, late 2007 into 2008, we didn't know what to expect at first but now we're all hooked to varying degrees. Ryan has already competed on the regional and national level, I hope to go to nationals next year.

As they say, autocross is the most fun you can have in a car with your clothes on.

Congrats, guys. Great driving out there from cars sporting 'Style stickers every time I make it out.

It'll teach you throttle control really quick, they love to plow under any throttle in the really tight stuff.

Oh for sure. My fwd 1g just fucking plows straight off the course unless I do some tricky braking to get the rear end light.



Congrats on the win Matt!

You should try road racing in brainerd next year. There is an instructor who races an EVO and they appear to handle great on the track.

We'll see, but paying a large amount of money to tool around a track in the car I drive to work every day doesn't interest me, honestly. In autocross I can step on the gas, mash the brakes and crank the wheel as hard as I want without having to worry about hitting a wall or landing upside down in some trees. Maybe I'll reconsider once the car has less value to me.

The course in Brainerd is fairly wide open. I was a little concerned before also, but I got used to it. The instructors have a lot of experience (one was a F1 driver) and they are available to help all day. Nobody pushes anyone for speed so people are able to go at their comfort level. We saw mlomker there one day and he had a blast with his car.
