Anyone have the stock IX exhaust hanger (the one at the very end of the muffler) for sell? I'll buy it and pick it up at the meet! Need to install my stock exhaust for a ticket very soon.

I was saying that if autocross is lame because you have one car at a time, one lap at a time, then you'd probably have to call WRC lame as well.
Both autocross and WRC (or rally in general) are time trials on a course where you get no practice to speak of. And the absence of dozens of practice runs is a primary thing which differentiates road course racing (like Willow Springs) from autocross/rally.

I'm guessing there must be other reasons you think autocross is lame, other than the 1 car at a time, 1 lap at a time. (I'm guessing you'd probably jump at the chance to drive a Ferrari at Laguna Seca -- 1 car at a time, 1 lap at a time.)
Like the 3-4 hour time commitment for less than 5 minutes of driving, maybe? Or the need (in most classes) to spend about $20 per run for tires just to be competitive?
Still, for those who haven't autocrossed, I'd encourage anyone to try it. A lot of folks aren't impressed, but that's okay.
