After HPDE'ing for 3 years and not autocrossing, I missed auto-crossing, mainly becuase I miss the competition. HPDE is fun but your just competting agianst your self, when I can come autocross and get beat my mary every week.... ah well, I mean compete with others in the club on pax... and I get more of charge out of that than HPDE'ing.

Will do. I'm writing up my first track experience so I'll post it later. I also have video of 3 sessions. Just have to dump it and convert it. And a few photos someone took.

Roebling Road is a blast!!! The Z was right at home out there. Not sure which of us was smiling the most :lol: He11, I'm still smiling!

I'm behind since I made the road trip a 4-day weekend. So I'll be caught up by this weekend. I'll share with whomever is interested.

Now back on topic. Sam please bring the Pinto!!! I want to see what that little rascal can do. I've been thinking about building one just for autox for the past 2 years. I'm curious...

I got a bit burned out on track stuff after 5 years, but I still get geeked up about autocross.

But I'm weird. We all knew that.

And I will be back on track eventually. I'm just going to wait until I want it so bad that it hurts :)

Lucky you! I have never had the combination of time and money necessary to do it often enough for burn out to happen. I could have done it frequently when I was unable to afford it, and now that I can afford it, I don't have time. :banghead:
