i plan to setup up to a more aggressive street tire when these are totally dead.

i am not gonna worry about gettin slicks or DOT-Rs until i learn to drive w/o them.

a garage:

basically a box with the entrance and exit on the same side

there was one sn95 car, no foxes. i dont remember what class he was running, or his mods if any...i hope the results get posted soon.

okay, we call that a "box", or unofficially, [name of last driver to demolish the obstacle]'s "wall of death".

as for the results, can you indicate the "competition", either by class or similar platform?

+1 on skipping the tires right now. the py ones will give you a better indication of what you need next (if anything).

yeah, i was waitin on some pics so i could identify cars and numbers, but that aint happening yet....

i went diggin thru some old photos and found the sn95's number. ESP #5
on the results page he has a 0 tire handicap meaning he was on a tire under 140 treadwear. other than that, i dont know what mods he has. his best time was a 48.836

as far as my car classification, it runs in SM. you can find the other SM and SM2 times on the class results sheet.

Okay, looked over the results. You said it was a fast course, do you think the ESP car has a power advantage over yours? Are those SM cars built to auto-x or are they really street cars?

honestly, i didnt spend alot of time socializing or checkin out other guys cars this time around. i was more concerned with gettin around the course, and gettin a feel for the car.

Car looks great Gumby !!

We went to our first auto-x on June 22nd at Fort Knox, KY and I really want to take one of the T-Birds and try it this month.

There is a Street Tire Open class here and I have e-mailed for info to see if I can run the 460 Turbo Coupe in that class for fun.:D

They say we need a treadwear of 140 or higher on street tires. Hope the big block is legal tho.

I have been wanting to auto-x for years.

I autox mine regularly. Going to another one on sunday, but it will be the first time out for the holset and the megasquirt that I put on after catjam. Its not perfect but getting closer. I just hope its spools the turbo quick enough, lol. I dont think it'll be too bad though
