Hey guys, woke up at 5:30 this morning. Unfortunetly im going to have to disapoint you guys and tell you I didnt take my car. I went with my buddys hatch, my friend with an older 200sx se-r, and his brothers 240sx, both have stock everything with heavy suspension mods.
My friends hatch has ls vtec motor, pretty damn quick(keeps up with my car on the street), gsr brakes, gsr suspension, etc.
You had to be 18 to race but they were very laid back, the tech consisted of them asking you if your battery was strapped down and if you had all your lug nuts, they didnt even check, so it was laid back. There was only about 20 cars in, and it went from like 8:30 to 12:00 so we got like more then 25 runs in, because theres 3 cars on the track at a time. This is including taking breaks and sitting down watching. They had rist bands so I didnt get to race till the end. My friend ripped his off and I put it on my arm. I will say, it was the funnest thing ive ever done. The civic is a beast on the turns, I was in 2nd gear the whole race and never let off the gad except the few times I had to brake around a turn, then it was back to flooring it, and flying through turns, the end straight away is pretty short, but some guy clocked us at about 54mph. I noticed it was different from drag racing because drag racing is more a of an adrenaline rush, this was more of being concentrated, knowing what your doing, you dont have time to feel a rush, you have to pay attention to detail. I loved it, in a month or two I am taking my car.
At first I snuck into a very good picture taking spot, right next to the cars, but I guess it was dangerous haha so they yelled at me and kicked me out of there, the reason I went was to see what it was all about, and of course get awesome pictures, but they ruined that for us because where they set us up for spectators was the worst spot in the world. Well enough talking, who reads this anyways, heres the pics.
Oh and I want to clarify, I was "kind of" an autocross, it wasent a big parking lot with cones, it seemed more like a gokart track with cones, it was VERY cool.
Here is a few of my friend racing.
Here is a bad picture of me racing.
Here is my other friends brother racing.
Here is some random cars that were there, this cobra was SICK, paxton super charged, he was sliding around each turn.
Here are some highway shots, this is my other friend, with the 200sx se-r, not that fast but he did awesome on the track.
Even though you cant really tell this picture was taken at about 90mph
Pictures taken with Canon 20D, hopfully by the time I take my car my friend will have a good zoom lense for it so we can get good pics. It was cruising down the highway in a group, but I really did miss my car, I had alot of fun though.
Anyone else been autocrossing? If not find a place near you, its ALOT of fun, im going to be setting my car up for turns, while still breaking 12's with slicks
