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 ?

Autocrossed for about 3 seasons with the NNJR region of the SCCA. They have a core of great people and offer at least 6 runs even with more than 100 cars per event. However, the politics of SCCA National and the limited "track" time couldn't compete with the fun of Open Track events. Trackmasters ( the group I usually run with, offers 2hrs. track time for students and 5 hrs. track time for their Open Track group daily. Add the higher speeds, G-forces, and risk/reward factor and Autox just can't compare. I occasionally visit and help out at an autox, but rarely go to the trouble of prepping the car for a full event. My oldest son will take the Camaro to an autox event if his car isn't ready, but that's because his track car is still not finished with its motor upgrade. I jokingly compare autox to adolescent sex: a lot of action and sweat that's over almost before it gets good. The only thing I really miss are some of the good people I met autoxing.
