This is the 5th run of my second autocross. I'm running in the unmodified street class. And getting beat by mini Coopers, a Dodge Dart, and a Fiat.
I know my problem is not going fast enough through that first section but I'm at the top of 1st gear and I'm just getting some practice and not trying to push so hard that I actually break something.
If I were driving anything besides a Toyota I wouldn't even try to take my daily driver out here.

In Kansas City we are truly blessed to have this awesome track to run. It is actually the local community college course that they use to train law enforcement and it's super sweet.



This is the track, but the highlight is not the way it was coned off this time. They make a different track every meet.
We have 10 events a year here any body within driving distance of KC should come and check us out.
I'm the only Celica out here.

...And you know what my paint looks like : /
By this time next year I'll be opening my build thread

The nice thing is that you can run whatever tires you want and still qualify as Stock. As long as they fit in the wheel well.
But once you get yourself into the modified class you are racing against peoples who got lotza money to spend on deer toys.
I guarantee you will love it.


So, funny story...

I was riding down the highway back from our job with the Muskogee with a fellow I work with in his early 2000's Chevy Silverado. His vortec engine is made of real Tornadoes, and his odometer read infinity miles. And I was telling him that when I got back I was picking up some tires I had ordered
and having them installed, ...at Walmart.
He gave me this funny look.
I said "Oh come on, it's just 5 lug nuts. How can they **** that up?"
The deal is that, by the time you pay shipping, Tirerack's price was the same as Walmart's. And the summer Direzza in the stock size costs the same as the Kuhmo all-seasons do. Except when I asked for a quote from another local "Discount" tire place they wanted fifty bucks more for each tire. So I went to Walmart.
