Default Went to an AutoX

Wow I had a Blast . I know im not the best driver in the world but I think that I did good for my first time. I just need to tweak that stock suspension to see what I can improve. Anyways here are a couple of movies:

Movie #1

Movie #2

*ps sorry for the bad movie quality my friends girlfriend had the movie quality set to low on my camera

Hey, you autox-ed and didn't wreck that car. That's a success! Sounds like fun....

I had two friends in 350Zs auto-xing on Saturday in a boeing lot. One of these days I'm gonna go with them and see how the goat holds up.

Yea, this was at the boing parking lot up in Everet on Sunday. Its fun to try to fit the my big 'ol SS though those narrow cones. Im planning to go to a few more events this summer.

I dont know why the videos are not working, they work fine for me??

They worked fine for me in Windows Media player

Looks like you guys had fun and the Car sounds Great!

We used to take my V6 out there and play in the cones..what a blast that was...the only thing we didn't like about it was that you have to pay $20something to run and if you run in the morning you have to stay through the afternoon runs and be a track worker..and visa versa...so even if your done racing by 10 or 12 am, you still have to stay there till 7-8 pm working the track...that made for some long hot boring days so we kind of shied away from that...

I had an open Cutout with a QTec. I still have the stock exhaust manifolds and cats on there so it dosent sound like completely open headers.

How often do they do this, and how much does it cost to run? I think this would be really fun, even if you weren't driving a fast car. Is there a schedule somewhere for events like this?

Default Looks like it was fun

This reminds me of a PS2 game I have, called "Stuntman." I'm beginning to wonder if maybe I should move to Washington, closer to where all the cool stuff happens.... nah, Oregon is home, I grew up here.
Thanks for sharing the vids.
