[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 ?

Steve- I agree that autox can teach younger drivers useful car control skills, and I've encouraged both my sons to try it. On the other hand, I taught both my sons to drive using the visual skills and terminology from open track and can definitely see that they apply it to advantage driving in traffic and at highway speeds. In a sense, both sports are probably necessary training for beginning drivers who want to have the skills to be safe on public roads. We live in southern NJ and my boys have to use the tourist-laden Garden State Parkway on a daily basis. Any non-crisis-based experience they can get is of benefit. However, I harbor a secret pride that my oldest asked for track school as a high school graduation gift. Wondering if the younger one will do the same in a week or so.
