I went autocrossing today and I had a blast. It was .8 miles and had elevation and camber changes....I got 20 runs in....I tried to get the rest of the Hampton Roads Cobalts out....but no luck, they missed out...
here is my first cone rub http://photobucket.com/albums/c342/Doc_SS/Cobalt%20SS/auto-x/th_auto-x005.jpg (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c342/Doc_SS/Cobalt%20SS/auto-x/auto-x005.jpg)


and here's my favorite...http://photobucket.com/albums/c342/Doc_SS/Cobalt%20SS/auto-x/th_auto-x006.jpg (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c342/Doc_SS/Cobalt%20SS/auto-x/auto-x006.jpg)

also saw a 240SX drift car....omg...it didn't need to be out on the auto-x track, it spun the tires the entire .8 mile of the track. Probably one of the most interesting things around.

Nice pics... That Elise is a car I'd like to have in my stable.

Can't wait for auto-x season to get rolling around here...

I'm just curious, what class were you running in?

Nice catch! I didn't even notice that. Doc, your car says STS...the SS/SC should be in STX...

I thought it ran STS....hell, I read the entire book and street touring is all I found (with mods) the stock SS runs DS.....
whats in the STX class..?? (the other cars..)

actually, they didn't add my class....the results have me in AMX (whatever that is)
they couldn't count it since the Z-06 kicked up the pavement and they had to change the course.

What are the modifications to your car? From what I can tell in the photos, nothing readily apparent that would put you into STX.

I know he's got an intake and exhaust. Doc, did you get the headers too?

A little Wax and some lovin and those marks will be all gone :D

Why?????? Cone marks are like badges of honor...those are the only marks I don't mind havin' on my car :D

i was wondering that ^^

Hope I don't do that when I race this year. Or maybe it just shows how hard you were racing:cool:

Again, badges of honor. Honesly if you DON'T hit a cone, you're not running as hard as you should.

I've got the extruded/honed exhaust manifold (sshhhh...), cat-back, front strut bar, lowering springs (they called them performance springs) :lol:

hey doc where was this place at?...can a LT run the track? lol

You can run whatever the hell you want to at an auto-x. Best one I've seen yet is an old school f150

Yep and the guy won his class week in and week out.

Auto-x = 90% driver, 10% car. You're actually at an advantage to have a smaller, less powerful car. It's not uncommon to see Mini Cooper S's beat the crap out of other cars. Last year my best friend in her MCS had a faster time than a Viper. There's a point above which you no longer have "useable" power...

it was completely stock....;)

Thats a pretty big and fast course. Needs more turns.
