North of the border Group: Admin Posts: 2,307 Joined: 4-February 04 From: Montreal, CANADA Member No.: 177	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 ?
