Default Finally, some quality exercise for my new 'vette...photos inside

Test 'n' Tune autox yesterday...what a blast. I've been autocrossing for about a decade, but it's hard to beat how that felt y'day.

Loaded up early morning:

Ready to run:

295's and 325's do fit and don't rub (car looks a bit 4x4ish because it was just let down off of the jack, with pretty stiff shock settings)


out on course:

Looks like fun but towing it with an Excursion? That's embarrassing! Buy a Suburban please!

I've run many events at Dixie Fairgrounds over the years. Tarheel Sports Car Club (THSCC) can put on a JAMMIN' auto-x event there !!

I did SCCA auto cross Solo 2 for a number of years. Then went road racing for ten years. Unless you have loads of money or you know people with loads of money that will give it to you auto cross is the most fun way to go.
