Default Optima

I have come from running karts, to dirt bikes to autocrossing and then
Open Tracking..... I do like the open tracking but because
of my Optima invite a few years back I got hooked on autocrossing
again...
I have said it once before you can run an autocross many times and
it is almost impossible to have a perfect run.. it reminds me of dirt
biking... make quick decisions and trying to get it right quickly

On a track you can go there time and time again and finally
figure things out... in autocross the course is gone after the
day you run it. I really like that challenge

I am also learning how to adjust the car somewhat
although mine still has a ways to go

If you want to run your car and have some fun then
autocrossing is a good start.. hell running the car anywhere
hard in a controlled environment is great
But really for beginners it is a great place to try your car out

Best event I have ever done is the Virgina City Hill Climb
5.1 miles 27 turns on a closed road running 125mph plus
with no guard rails or rules.. just hang on!!!
