Does anyone AUTO X in chi-town area and burbs??
 
Im really wanting to try it. Does anyone do this on a regular basis?

I went to the scca site and read lots of info but just want to know if you all go or not.

Lemme know!!

Harmonic_tC May 20, 2006 06:48 AM

stillmotion May 20, 2006 01:06 PM

ucyib2papi May 20, 2006 02:02 PM

i would, but my car is def. not built for it now :(

stillmotion May 20, 2006 02:22 PM

Maybe we need to find a coilover groupbuy

Harmonic_tC May 20, 2006 03:41 PM

im selling my megan coilovers right now. i am running the tein ssp currently.

I think it would be a lot of fun, i guess there is a meet on the 29th of this month, im going to find out where and all and let you all know.

ucyib2papi May 20, 2006 04:31 PM

i dont think my car being 4" of the ground and the 19" wheels r very beneficial. im dumb, so ill try it probably :D

Harmonic_tC May 21, 2006 03:10 AM

haha, why not?

my car is 4" at most. but im on coilovers...

last year we teamed up with Windy City Miata Club for a couple of events. the more avid autocrossers would be Shane and Alex (the cop). we quickly realized our Scions will never handle like a miata, but is was fun nonetheless.

if you are interested, i could try finding the contact information again.

Harmonic_tC May 21, 2006 06:02 AM

sure!

Ill talk to alex as well.I think the tc can be setup to do well in auto X so i want to see what it can do...

Thanks for any info

How about lil scion event. get some people and just go there and have fun.

EDIT: it's Mundelein not Mundeline :P There is a 350z across the street, black one with bronze 5zigne (not really sure) but it looks sweet.

Harmonic_tC May 23, 2006 06:33 AM

that would be really sweet actually!

or we can crash the audi events that happen once a month. its open to all cars but the audi club hosts it so its mostly all audis.

the next event in the 24th of june so we have lots of time to prepare. im getting new wheels and tires just for this (ok its just more of an excuse to get my wheels) so we should be able represent!

there is an scca sponsored event at rt 66 speedway on june 18th but thats fathers day so i wont be able to make it to that one.

Harmonic_tC May 23, 2006 06:35 AM

oh and I also talked to cop alex and he will be going to the event on the 24th as well. maybe we can get a little area for us at the meet. looking at the pics of thier past events, it looks very open and casual

ScionGTR Jun 10, 2006 07:48 AM

we really need to this. i'm preaty much stock, but i'd still enjoy it.

Auto-X is 10% car and 90% skill. At our school one of the fastest cars is a Saturn SC2. To give you a picture I go to Kettering University, formerly General Motors Institute. We have a rule in the dorms, "You may not have an internal combustion engine inside your dorm room, no matter how dissassembled." It still gets broken. The SC2 is one of the few cars that gives the fully modded WRX a run for his money. I mean the non street legal WRX that they bring up in a trailer and have 2 sets of tires for track condition and whatnot.

If your interested in Auto-X and becomming skilled, look for basic suspension upgrades and run ____ty tires. Once you get good with the ____ty tires, through on some sweet tires and you will be golden.

ScionGTR Jun 18, 2006 04:46 AM

we are looking for fun, not a pro racing. It doesn't matter if you are modded or not, it would be nice just to get togheter like a lil car show and have some fun.

Harmonic_tC Jun 18, 2006 05:34 PM

cool

so the 24th is coming up! I will be there!

farberio Jun 19, 2006 08:02 PM
