Default DFW 2012 VQ Auto-X Challenge

Hello Everyone,

Well its time for the second year of VQ Auto-X Racing.

We had a great time last year and looking forward to 2012. GWord256 organized the events last year but is out of the country, so Fithamoto and I (SteidZ) are taking over for the year.

This year we are going to run everything thru a Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/groups/VQAutoX2012/

Our first event is 29 Jan in Bedford TX. Come over to the page and join, then come out and have a great time in your Z or G.(or what ever you want to drive) We're a relaxed group out to have fun in our cars. If your new to racing or DFW come on out. If you have questions just drop us a line.

SteidZ

I very seriously doubt I'll make this one. I probably won't be back in Dallas til the 24th of march. My buddy is coming home from Afghanistan then and I would rather take the vacation time for that than the race if I can only go to one.

Everyone is pretty local. Most have some mod that would throw them into a crazy class so most are just out for a good time. I have mine setup for STR so just in case it works out I could go to some bigger events. Starting the second year with the car, it feels good but stil a sec and a half behind a well set up STR Miata. The steering wheel nut is still loose!

What class are you in?

No AC or radio
Aluminum kirkey in the passenger side and recaro for my seat
Light exhaust
no cats
headers
2 piece rotors in the front
9(?)lb battery
No rear sway bar or hardware
OSG Aluminum single clutch (~25lbs for all the components including flywheel)
All the spare, tools, etc are out of the rear hatch
I run the car with almost no gas in it either

That's about it...still has all the carpet, sound matting, and plastics.
