    My 3rd AutoX today

    so this was my first time autoXing the Familia since the turbo swap. i competed in the Street Modified class. that was fine with me untill i went to the staging area and parked my car next to about 6 STI's, 3 BMW m3's, an EVO and a few others. hahaha

    so i did not get a chance to walk the track this morning so my first run was me getting to know the course. my time was a 70.something . ok fine. Run #2 came up and my goal was to best it by 2 seconds. i was amazed to hear my time of a 65.4!!! and then dismayed to hear DNF... i missed a slalom. my last run i ran an even quicker 64.00X !!!! and missed the same slalom!!! DNF AGAIN!!! with the 64 i would have been 3rd from last, as opposed to the 70 which earned me last. but i had a great time and cant wait untill next month now that i have a bit more knowlage of my car's limits...

                    It's been years since I've wanted to try out autox, but never did. How do I find out when there are events in my region?

                    Sounds like you had fun and that's all that matters. Do post some action shots if you got them!

                    while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height
