Today I went to my first autocross at Atco. It was an amazing experience, so much better than drag. I pushed my car harder today then I ever have in the previous three years of owning it. I ran a 54.407. I think that is a decent time considering my tires were bald, and im on the stock 17 year old suspension. There were 2 other 7's there an 86 i think, and an 80 LS. A laminar Viking SRX7. That thing sounded beutiful. the other fc ran a 56 somthing and the SRX7 ran a 43 i think.

Ahhh... another addicted member. Autocross is twice as addicting than crack and way more expensive.



I'll be moving into a cardboard box soon.
