Autocross, my new love!

And are you on crack travis? Are you speaking of the airstrip in Brandon to drift on? I'd rather not drive 2 hours each way for half a day of "drifting" on a strait runway lol.

You just need cones. I am super pumped about our drift/ track day next Sunday at shannonville. its been over a year and a half since i was on track

Does anyone have any input on what they go through most and what maybe to do to make autocross a little less expensive in the long run?

For auto slalom the biggest expenses will be fuel and entry fee's. If you have dedicated wheels and street tires for auto slalom they can last you a long time. Two seasons is not unheard of. If you super competitive you will want to get new ones for every season.

If you run r-comps and are at an event every weekend you will easily go through 2 sets in a season.

Do you have a gunmetal gtr with a number on the doors? Volk ce28n's with slicks?

[Marke]

That would be me.

[leeaspin]

Sweet. I was waiting for you to make a run but the time I was there never seen one. Maybe next time!

[Marke]

If you are ever at a VMSC auto slalom, you are welcome to come for a ride along. I have only done one at Saratoga, but because of their odd event times I probably won't go back. IRC hold events near Parksville, don't think I will go to those either.

I will be at Mission next weekend for a CACC Time Attack event and on August 27 & 28th I will be attending the CACC B.C. Auto Slalom Championships, hosted by VCMC in Pitt Meadows.

Sweet. I will be in Mission also next weekend July 15 for the supra nationals...I will be drag racing trying to beat them all haha

I told you it would be like crack, you just need more.

For me AutoX has really given me the opportunity to USE my car. I realize parts cost, but at the end of the day if something breaks while doing this type of racing, it was going to break anyway. The amount of strain put on the cars for autox should be easily handled by most sports cars. While a Skyline is not the best for this type of racing, it certainly allows you to develope as a driver, plus if we all become WSCC Members then we would be competing in a different class then the S2000's.

I love doing this and plan to make every race this year. The next step is "solo racing" at gimli.

Went out for my 3rd event today and good results!

finished with a 1:12.82, which was good enough for first in the raw division.

The gf road along for 3 of my runs but even better I got my mom to come out and sit in with me for one run!
