Autocrossing at the Meadowlands I went yesterday to check it out for the first time and it was pretty f'n amazing. The track was about a half mile (guess) and the car we're running about 48 seconds per lap. My neighbor had a brand new STi and a buddy of mine owns a quick coopper S.
There were all sorts of cars there from porsches (one sweet
GT3) to Z06 to bimmers to pony cars. The thing that I'm still tryin to wrap my head around is that some of these little cars (one civic in particular) were killin the higher horsepower rides. On top of that I think the fastest run I saw was some dude in a mustang!
I think I'm gonna try it the next time my neighbor mentions that he's gonna head out. Anybody want to go?

I'm an instructor with them, but i couldn't make that event because i did lime rock the day before, and I was pooped:

if you are talking about the 1999 orang'ish redish mustang GT, then that is rob's car. he has been racing since he was 6 and he's awesome! its stripped inside, so its light, and he's great driver. he often sets fast time of the day.
