I wont be doing more than 2-3 a year. I think its just something I should at least give a try. I think I will enjoy it. My friend has an SVT Focus and im trying to get him to go out too. And I must say, for a ford, the SVT Focus is nice. Id drive one for sure.

Thats a really fast track. I have never seen one where people are hitting 70mph. People rarely break 50ish at the ones here. His car handles about as good stock as my Neuspeed Race springs and Tokico setup.

well i live no wear near you so i have no idea about what place your talking about, plus the places the hold events around here have really nice pavement except for one part of a parking lot.

anyways the casual autox`er wont need to worry about changing his/her tires unless they are drifting the turns. Besides you dont want to hear your tires screeching slows your time down.

No, if the tires ain't screechin' then you're not goin' fast enough.

lol w/e. You can still go fast and no be screechin`. I mean yea of coarse a little but once you start slidding and stuff your losing time and killing your tires, unless your tryin to drift which is fun but not as much fun as a rwd car lol.


Yea they hold events at my work. The oakland a's colesium. Huge parking lots, great for autox. Cali has a lot of big places to hold events.

Cali has everything. Ive always wanted to go out there...mainly for skateboarding. But here in KY, we have no emissions testing. So anything goes as far as mods.

yeah you are so lucky! Cali's emissions are going to make my turbo project a lot harder. I'm going to have to get a piggyback and and a chipped/socket ecu so i can put the stock ecu back in for emissions
