    You can try to make a street car into an autocrosser or you can do a lot less work and make a race car into a great autocrosser

    Not bad mark!


    I wish I could have been there, but at the last event I was bottoming out. I spent this past weekend replacing the rivets on my floor (again).

    I think with as smooth as the event was, and all the press coverage, I suspect we will have more events out there. I can't wait for AAS to schedule events out there... that would be fantastic..

    On my fastest run I was in 4th 3 times, but I was holding at the top of 3rd in 2 other places. The 3/4 shift is so easy, must do it more The slaloms were designed to be fast for big cars, so you can imagine what it was like for a FF.

    Great photos-looks like a well attended and well run event.
    I did not see black marks on the concrete. Was it easy on tires?

    Funny, it was a bit like sanding off rubber and it just blows away. I am guessing 1.5 to 2x normal wear and nothing extra on the tires like OPR.
