Absolutely nothing wrong with being picky, ****, cautious, etc. My '03 has 150K miles and I still do my best to keep it in clean and undamaged. At the same time, though, it's worth it to let loose every so often and have fun with it without worrying about every little thing.


BTW, the HR is a better performer with higher rev and power so you might even catch one of us.

Travlee you're probably not as picky/ocd as I and I've been auto-x'ing once. Unless you go flying into the cone head on nothing really happens to the car.

speaking of autoxing, i've been trying to get rid of my damn rota svn's with the hankook rs3's on them for 6 months now!!! they tires are still in damn good shape, and no one here wants em

I dont know how to ship that stuff, otherwise i'd sell it to one of you guys who will use em! they're just sitting in my garage.

Come out Jan 26th.

You're going to get that cherry popped whether you like it or not. Might as well get it over with. It'll all be over before you know it and I promise you'll enjoy it more if you just relaxed... You trust us, right?

Show up early. There's usually a few people that don't show up on the day of the race and those spots are given to the late registrants on a first come first served basis.

Haha dammit I wish I could be there. I love it when newbies are out there because I can usually beat them in the morning at least.

On my first ever AutoX run out here and in the rain I ran an 80.000. I'll have to check next time I'm in the car what my best time was though.
