I started getting involved with autoX last fall and it festered all winter and then I really go the bug this spring. I've entered in 10-12 events with either my factory stock 2002 Firehawk- LS1, M6, SLP CAI and exhaust. Or, more of the time I use my '78 Trans Am, Y88, Pontiac 400, TH350, 3.23. The 78 is largely still stock as well. The original factory engine was removed for safe keeping and I built a 406CID that's way more aggresive then the factory tunes of that area but I still have a stock TH350 with stock TC and it runs on pump gas. I lowered it 2" this year and deisgned and built some SFC's for it. I also put 275 Nitto 555's on 18 x 9 wheels to help me corner better.

I'm still learning a lot at every event and progressing and having fun meeting new people and seeing new cars and getting new ideas.

This is from the fall of 2013 at a good guys event- I think this was my first autoX event... The car is all factory original here.

This was a month ago at a time trial event.

This is what it looks like today...

An I can't leave my Firehawk out of the mix- this car is a lot of fun to drive! With stickier tires on this car, it would be very competitive...
