[Crazy Canuck]

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 ?

to get more excitement, maybe I should try the Kevin approach: off-roading/drifting @ events.  (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif)   :leaving:

Hauling butt through the grass at 70+ mph during an autocross is a little surreal. I'm used to staying on the hard surfaces (like Eugenio said), being in the grass with both feet in and going for quite a distance farther than the slides where you don't leave the surface is a different experience.

I've done the high speed sideways slide through the grass and clay at an autocross. It was kind of fun, and I didn't hit anything. However, it took me at least an hour to get all the clay, rocks, and grass out of the tire bead so I could get it seated on the rim again (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Somehow the tire never lost pressure.

Of course, that means the edge of my rim had dug into the hard clay, so a rollover wasn't far off ....
