First autoX WOOO HOOO!
I did my first autoX (ride-n-drive in a Lotus Elise last year didn't count) in the '95 auto yesterday. Four hours of classroom on Friday evening and 10 runs on Saturday. Dropped over 4 seconds from first to last run
 . Neeedless to say, I had a blast and wore a perma last night. Can't wait to do it again which is good as the Detroit region has a number of competitions through-out the season.Got lots of "cool car, I loved those when they came out" and "very nice, don't see many of those on the roads these days"  . Got solid feedback from my instructor and now need to start upgrading ('95 needs struts and better brake pads) or getting on of the other two on the road.Wattablast! Todd

How Long Was The Course?
Congratulations. 4 sec. is a lot of improvement in an auto tans car.
Now your only problem is better suspension and brakes and you were gonna do that anyway, right. If they have 1/8 mile drags those are also a lot of bang for the buck and a fun way to "tune" your engine. Did you learn much in the class room? WGJ

Sounds like you had a serious blast out there Todd!!!!!! I only autoX'd my former '96 twice, but both times were very enjoyable.

Yay! for you. I was looking for a 'big wood' icon to 'fix' your quote but after tripping over 'Matt & Tom's Big Gay Roadtrip' website (blame Google) I had second thoughts...
See how you are! Out spinning your tires in some deserted parking lot instead of drinking mint juleps down here! What, we don't have enough potholes down here?

Todd,
Nice! Check EBay for used (but not abused) R-Comp Hoosiers or Kumhos and you'll cut another second off your times. Then there are those dual adjustable Koni inserts with GC coil overs...  -Bill
