tc_is_for_turbo_charged

So, I haven't posted here in a long time.

I joined a car enthusiast club in dc, for bmw's. I don't own a bmw and there are tons of members who don't. Just a lot of people who like cars.

Recently we had our first points event autocross - in the rain. My first autox ever. With the lowest HP I was just hoping not to get last. Then I saw a minicooper S and knew I had to beat it.

My xa is an 06 with all the trd suspension goodies, trd filter, trd exhaust, and dc sports strut tower brace. Oh, and staggered 17" wheels with 205 and 215 running 35 and 40 series. Did I mention it's an automatic commuter car ;)

Tons of fun. Next event will hopefully be in the dry. Summit point skid pad May 2. Registration open to everyone. Better sign up quick though, everyone had so much fun (watching a M5 spin out in the mud!) that I am sure everyone will be returning and telling their friends.

The numbers in my class from me on down (note: I came in 25th out of 37)

06 scion xa 68.82 seconds
95 nissan 240sx 68.97
90 porsche 944 69.02
07 mazdaspeed3 69.85
85 Toyota Corolla AE86 70.49
06 honda accord se
05 chrysler crossfire
04 mazda rx8
01 corvette z06
05 corvette
03 evo 8
06 pontiac gto
07 shelby cs-6 mustang

you should switch cars with some one and beat them with their own car.

im sure your a good driver.

Nice drivin' . I like when the underdog does well.

Like the VW Beetle that beat everyone in your class. (well unless it was an Rsi or something of that nature)

I heard the guy with the VW is semi-pro and wins no matter what he drives!

I have a modded S2000, wanted to drive the scion instead. Short course. Next time I want to beat the S2000's time.

Heh, like they say the car doesn't make the driver. Good stuff!
