I don't know if it's the right section,
but I thought I would share how I'm feeling. Basically, I love AutoX and I find it a great way to enjoy the car, and so forth. I'm also OK at it and kick ass on some fast cars in my category as well. There are a few things that makes me not enjoy it as much. 1. it's very political... full of BS 2. seat time is very minimal 3. can't be much more competitive unless I trailor another set of wheels w/ Hoosier dady. 4. I'd like to use more than just 1-2 gear. I'm just thinking on focusing more on driving and seat time. Am I the only one that thinks this or going through this kind of feelings ? |

Eugenio, that's exactly how I've been feeling lately. Esp # 2 It's just so hard to drag myself to an event and be gone all day for less than 6 minutes of seat time.
I'm currently setting the car up to tow a tire trailer. I'm hoping this will make it more comfortable and relieve some of the burden of having all the gear inside my car. Our local region usually gives 5 runs or so or 4 runs at our larger 60 second site. There are usually to many people to allow for any funruns. It's not our region's fault either-IMO KYR is one of the most organized regions there is as far as local events go. Recently they did a test and tune day limited to 40 people for $40. I wish we would have more autocrosses where attendence was limited so we could get more runs. To be honest I have more fun at my local F-body club's private autocross than an any other. I'd gladly pay 40 or 60 dollars to autocross if we limited entries and provided more runs. I really want to do open tracking but I know I'll fall into another rut-no competition. Although I would like faster events where I could open the car up. Recently we had an event that mistakenly allowed competitors to get up to 70 80 and almost 90. At the time hey got up to speed in a safe area. Afterwards a local complained and his comments were heard, BUT he then felt the need to go complain to the national office about our region. Our region just has too many drama queens all over that want to fight, whine, and bicker over petty things. I just want to get out and race. I have enough politics going on in the rest of my life. |
