So I auto-x for the first time today and all I can say is it was FU*KING AWESOME MAN!!
lol my poor tires tho haha

anyways, I will have a video and some pics later

that is all

 

Your poor tires......you mean poor brakes

 

How did you do compared to all the Sub-Compacts?

 

i have been auto crossing my 05 Gt Convertible since December 05. We race the first weekend of every month.
the first thing you HAVE to do is get a good set of tires, i bought some stock 05, 17x9 bullit type rims on Ebay, and mounted Hankook 245/45/17 tires on them and they hook really great for a 200 treadwear tire. my next(and last)mod is going to be a set of Tokico adjustable struts/shocks
the car is not as good for autocrossing as my 2002 SVT Focus, but it is fun AND i get to drag race it once a month , so in that sense it is more fun to drive then the SVT focus.
PLUS there is the every day thrill and big grin I get when driving with the top down in this great SW Florida weather.

 

freaking floridians racing in dec with the top down... dammit.. go buy a snow shovel or something like me lol
its freezinnnnnnnnng up here in ny

 

Hey man Im getting ready to pick up a new stang over in SW florida, you in the fort myers area?

 

Hey Aggie, where did you go? That new track down by Houston? Troden races his GT down there quite a bit.

 

Hey hawgman, I didn't go to Houston. I am at Texas A&M and we own an airport that is huge and is only used by A&M for race testing and such. We have one of the largest runways and we use it for auto-x ing. It is a great course and we usually end up with at least 100 cars or so.
We host the event every month and just had our last one last weekend. I will post our dates and also our video.

People come from all over to run the course and it is different everytime.
