Cool picture and good idea with the stock rims when racing. It would drive me nuts to get a dent or scrape on my rims.

Awesome, do you have the stock rubber on them?


If not, Wow could you ever shave off some time.

Very cool pic! Did you Pshop the helmet at all, because those colors really stand out. Do you lave a larger size pic of this, would be a cool wallpaper at work.

nope i only photoshopped the cone, to make it brighter, and i desaturated the backgroud a little to let the dirt lose some color. I didnt touch anything on the car. :] I do have a larger picture. I'll attach it below (if you want bigger PM me)

I'm jealous though.. the last event was October 1st here. >_<

The fact that I modded the drivetrain; upgraded clutch, lightweight flywheel, and added LSD. It's gonna be tough competition, but my car is unreal now. This was my first auto-x in a year, and the first since the tranny mods. I literaly was out of breath after my first run because it was pretty scary how much grip I was getting in the turns. First run wasn't even my fastest... I dropped 3 secs by my third run, and actually took first place in class.

PM sent.

I am really thinking of autoxing this spring. The problem I had when I tried before was that I couldn't follow the course with the cones as barriers and went off course a few times. It was worst after people had knocked down a few cones.

Nice pic! Also nice that you race honest, a lot of people wouldn't say anything about the flywheel and run in Stock. So we'll be seeing you at San Diego for the National Tour?

haha well you guys are waaayy outta my league. youve done all sorts of suspension upgrades to your p5 along with ems (which i would loove to have), and i hear anthony spent forever dyno tuning that engine of his and that thing has a ridiculous suspension setup also. plus hes a really good driver. i could never compete with that. you arent still in fsp anymore are you? i dont see how you havent bumped up with all youve done to your racecar.

I'm still in FSP. Anthony has a lot of work in the Neon, but in some cases I think it's made the Neon harder to drive. The suspension seems a little less forgiving to mistakes. Next time I'm up in VA with Anthony I'll let you co-drive my car.

You could put your car right there with the Neon with just a little suspension work and some R'comps. Coilovers, camber, rear swaybar and a good set of sticky tires...you'll have him sweating that class championship in no time.

just goto a local event. if you dont know of any you should be able to look up your region on scca's website. your region should have a site with an events list. find one, pre register, and go. they treat newcomers well at our events. theres typically always a handfull at every event. and no one looks down on you if you arent the best driver in the world. its a fun atmosphere, and im sure youll get hooked after your first time.
