Doing my 1st Auto X in less the 10hrs...Getting nervous lol (UPDATE!)(PICS & VIDEOS!)
Well i just got invited a few hours ago to go to my first Auto X competition, and I have to say im getting kinda nervous lol. Iam the only Evo that is going to be there lol. ive got a film crew ( Evolution Prodoctions) out there who is going to be covering my end of the competition, but this will be my first time racing on any kind of track. Ive raced on the street before but im sure this will be 100X more fun. Wish me luck guys! I cant wait to see what a "Simi Stock Evo" can do before I really mod it! lol

Had a blast man, I came in 9th place out of 16. Not too bad for my first time out. As for tires, im running some kumho asx on all 4s but the front 2 are bald as ever, and one has a leak....But I had a blast and will be doing it again later this month.

1st time out, after a lap you go from nervous to excited. Love autocross!
Autocross is also addicitive. I do an event monthly, wish there was more near me.
Glad to hear you liked it.

it def is addicitive!! Im in love with it, now to get some better tires and get some better skillls driving. I think i did ok for my 1st time out. My greddy Ti-Exhaust should be here any day now, so when i run the 29th of this month i will see if that makes any lower end dif (spool up quicker maybe) and im looking into new tires as of right meow lol. Oh and BTW, the Blues panter tape on the side of my car was only for this event, i dont have any real numbers just yet, just bought them today at the Event and will be in at the next one so it want look so bad lol and the Videos are not the best, im working on mounted in the car as of today. Thanks everyone and Evolutionm.net for yalls support!
