without this further turning into an autox vs track discussion, i will say this: there's no reason for anyone not to TRY autox once. many don't like the limited seat time vs time spent at the site - that's fine. But that's not an excuse to not try autox once, and definitely not an excuse to hoon on the street instead (not that that's what you're doing)

I like using AutoX to tune my driving skills rather than going to the kart track. Food for thought

"I need better brakes"
"I need better tires"
"I need a new clutch"
"It's too expensive"

I do both. Everything helps. I'm not an autox fan at all, but it really does help. Plus, seat time is seat time.

P.S. I don't understand how someone would by a sports car and NOT want to get it on some type of course. Buying it to park with your buddies at the Local boba shop and look at it? WTF?!

I did Auto X couple of times, for me was flat out boring and the whole day felt flat. Too much time between runs etc. = no fun

Rally X was heck of a fun . $50 for entry fee, tons of runs not too much waiting etc.
The whole day was as much fun you can get for what it is. It is worth a day and the money

here is my comparison between the two different cone hunting race:

AutoX my DD with full trim not even empty trunk lol


Rally X , with my rally car:

I am a fan of driving on road courses and karting. I run time attack and time trial with NASA AZ and I kart with pro auto sports who is another local racing sanction. I'm not the biggest fan of auto-X, but I will agree that anything is better than sitting in a parking lot or doing "freeway pulls"

remember I love go karts too

I think as above stated everything is better then high way pulls.

So I do respect auto crossers etc. the top level has amazing skills, and so on so forth.


If you bought an Evo just race it for Christ sake! I don't care what race is that.
I might be found as a bad choice the Evo for the racing you love, like drag... but I do respect the fact at least you are using the car.

I cant understand ANY not prestige sports car buyer who doesn't take his or her car on the track. Including STI -R32- Evo - Ford ST's etc

that is beyond me.

You're comparing autoXing in a stock, daily driver to RallyX in a prepped car?
Oh, come on now LOL

Other than seat time, I AX because my friends do and I'm competitive, which makes it even better (you should see us on indoor kart tracks!). I always try for FTD. Its fun whether I get it or not.
Do I think it's worth $50 for 3min of driving? Hell no. But a day of hanging with car buddies? Absolutely.
If I had to go alone, not knowing anyone out there? I wouldn't. But i'll be at Buttonwillow, alone, on the 20th. I don't mind that one bit LOL.

No I am comparing the two different event. I thought it's clear... But then if not, I clarify it for you.
Just happens to be the first video in my dd. Since at least that was on a race track, which many autocross racer think it's a fast track.

I dont know where you picked the car vs car comparison in my post there. Lol

Biggest but most reasonable excuse that I agree with is " I don't have a second car."

If you total your DD on the track and have no means to get to work, you are pretty much screwed.
