I started with a stock 72 Datsun 510 sedan.
Later I got another 510 that started stock and had suspension upgrades in springs, shocks, sway bars, and wheels.
I finally went to race slicks.
The motor went from stock to a dual SU intake with some head work.
Then I built a 1600 turbo motor with water alcohol injection and 24 lbs of boost on Cam2 race fuel.
The last car I auto-xed was my old Datsun 210 on the race slicks I ran on the 510. The 510 was broken at the time.

I have a 2000 Focus ZX-3 but I have not run it.


George, you forgot to mention the amazing "Z" tailpipe on the 510 :)

I started autocrossing a 1984 Civic S, shown here the day of my first class win (over Peter Krause, no less). Shod with Yokohama 185-60/13 A-008Rs, on 1983 Civic S steelies.

Then I traded up to a 1990 Mustang LX 5.0 Sport, which I drove for 16 seasons.

A brief return to Honda-land, via a gracious co-drive offer from Mr. Shultz.

Old old pic...had the car back in 2004

http://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-tech. ... b80929.jpg

Sadly, it seems it's the only soft copy of the the car I have left on the interwebz. I'll need to go break out the old scanner and get the 5x7s rescanned in.

Found a picture from my first event. I think that is Scott Johnson standing near grid and Pastorius' MR2 grazing track side. A FSAE car no doubt oiling up grid and Randy Melton on deck debating on running the course frontwards or backwards. Nice shot of the old bus too!

I started with a Honda Civic:

Then later I switched to an older and crappier Honda Civic:

And after that, I switched to an even older and infinitely crappier Honda Civic:

Pics are on track, but all were AX'd at some point; I just never get pictures of AX.

I'll play too.

1995: 1988 Honda CRX Si. Did one autocross in it just after graduating college.
1996 through 2003: 1995 Integra GS-R: GS, then DSP, then "ITS" for our time trials, then Honda Challenge H3
2004-2005: 1990 Honda Civic: SCCA club racing, ITC, codriving in enduros. This car didn't belong to me.
2007 through 2011: '04 Honda S2000, BS. Codrove with Art, then the Petersons. Ram now owns this car and I miss it. Chris won her first national championship in this car in 2010.
2014: 1999 Mazda Miata, GS. Did a whopping three events in this car and decided it wasn't for me. Sold to John Byers.
2015: 2013 Ford Focus ST, GS. Mostly I've been driving it to a handful of national events and doing very poorly in it. Great car though, the issues are all driver induced.
