Default my day autocrossing!!

i have found a new hobby!!! at first it was all intimidating. but after my first run i became hooked! the rush as your weave through the cones is exhilerating. i was whipping my car around. of course, being my first event my times were the suck, but i didn't hit a single cone, just veered off course here and there. mike gave me some great tips and i got to ride in his civic hatch...mike = crazy

action shots, nothing spectacular

Your cheerleader?

That must have been fun. I really want to get into auto-x when I do my swap. Is there a site that has a list of all the competitions around? I want to go watch some.

You and me both h:

That's why I'm getting a bucket seat and mounting it so the bottom is right on the floorpan, getting rid of stock brackets and everything. Then it'll be time for auto-x, if I can get my parents to stop thinking it's extremley dangerous and it's going to kill my car.
