Autocross

[VTECSOHC02]

Bout 3 weeknds ago I attend an Autocross. There were 2 Catagories; Pure Stock (No Mods) and Street Stock (Intakes, Exhausts, suspentions, ect...). There were several classes; 2.0l below (class E), 2.0l above (class D) 3.0l V6 (class C), 4.0l below (class B) and 4.0l V8 above (class A). I was racing in the Street stock Class E, and WON!!! I placed 4th overall beating Corvettes and Mustangs out. Overall winner was a modified WRX. Anyhow here are some of my pics. Enjoy.

man, i would love to go autocrossing but i never get a chance to. i am tired of driving stright. i would like to try autocrossing because its more about driving then mods on the car unlike drag racing.

Try going to the scca website. I race with the local scca group here and its a blast. Check out your local scca group and have fun. Pretty much any honda civic will be in the street stock class. I'm supposed to race this sunday but it might rain. Norainnorainnorainnorainnorainnorain....please.

[VTECSOHC02]

I tell you what... Its a lot of fun. Been doing it since 2000.

 

[EXcon279]

yea i did it for the first time last year...the only thing thats bad about it is afterwords i want to slide sideways around every turn i see.

 

[VTECSOHC02]

Yeah... two things happen after an Autocross...
1. You got it all out of you and take it easy on the roads.
2. You had so much fun hauling ass that you don't want to stop... Untill you see your local law enforcer. LOL

LOL....I went racing this sunday and it started raining right as I finished loading everything back in my car. On the way home a sherif was about a mile down the road waiting for anyone who didn't get it out of their system. I did pretty good. A good run for thr preludes was around 40 seconds. The BMW M series were running between 42 and 39, depending on the driver and mods. I ran a 46.8, then 46.7, then 45.3, and finaly a good 44.6. I beat the only WRX out there and was even as good as the little Miata's. There was a 2004 S2000 out there running stock at about a 37. The coolest part of the course was when you went balls to the wall down a decent leangth and then had to do a U turn and head right back the way you came. There was a dumbass out there in a new Neon turbo that kept doing E-brakes around the corners and then would just roast the tires out of the corners. All in all it was a blast considering we were racing during extreemly strong winds that were blowing sand across the course occasionaly.

^^^he was driving a neon what do you expect

 

[loccusst]

LMAO... yeah, there's some neons out there that think they are all that. It sucks cause you kinda have to be carefull what you say cause the are sponsors of the event or major members.

 

[VTECSOHC02]

I don't know how sharp the uey was but ours was kinda wide and long and I was going into it pretty fast that I would pull up and back down on the e-brake to drift a little. I wouldn't lock it though!!! But yeah a Neon is a Neon turbo or not.

 

[loccusst]

We had one complete U-turn that was pretty sharp but the rest of the course was not extreem as that turn.
