This is my second event. Me, my brother (Jommel-MKIII MR2), Corey (Corolla) and his dad Kieth hit up the loca AutoX event once more. The day was hot.. blazing hot tarmac and the smell of race rubber.
I ran a 71.768 as my fastest.. this was from my 90.475, Great day and it was alot of fun.. My Celi got alot of comments.. because its the stockest car in there lol Heres the result (Im #49) http://www.throttlehorseracing.com/fourwhl...Y06_RESULTS.htm the # 98 Civic was one of those swapped ones.. EG Hatch with some JDM engine.. he claims 160whp... Hehe.. Who would think my little 100CRANKhp car would be him! The other Celica was a 7GC GTS with Hotchkis(sp?) suspension setup.. I thought he would beat me by at least 5sec.. Ill post up a vid later.. with more commentarys from my friends lol |

no suspension except for the tires. Im still running in the stock classes.. the sucky part is that the Cooper S is also in my class! and those things are killer in a short course

Who would think my little 100CRANKhp car would be him! How is he running in a stock class if he is engine swapped? Sorry I don't know much about autocross. Seems a little odd to me that a celica is in the same class as a BMW M3, Subaru WRX STI, and VW R32? Not to mention the Cooper S and Miata. What exactly are you allowed to modify in "stock" class?

The swapped Civic is in STS or Street Tuned, actually 99% of all swapped cars are put in SM- Street Modified
My class is GS(N) - N for Novice In a stock class the only upgrades you can have are what came stock in your car. The Letters in the Left side indicate which class you are in. |

grats... handling is one of those things our cars can do extremely well, even if we fall flat in a straight line.
twisties are more fun, anyway. good job. |
