Default Autocross at Toledo Airport OH

Wow! What a great time! I had a lot of fun yesterday! The car handled really well. I would say I have a lot to learn about driving my car through the course. But, overall most people that saw me run yesterday said that I ran well for my 1st time. The car seemed to push the tires more then I liked but I think things would change if I'd used slicks or NT01's again. Does anybody in Michigan or Ohio on this board go to NWORSCCA events? I only saw one other classic car there besides my own and it was 69 Corvette. He did awesome. His car handled really well, better then some of the new cars. I would also have to say this is some of the safest racing because it's at the airport the worse thing you can run into is a pylon. The cars run solo so you are really racing the clock. I would love to do this again if any protouring guys would like to come out with me let me know. PM me or post here. I will see about some pictures later.

I can't belive no one would want to try out their car on an autocross. What gives? I jumped at the chance.

Yeah I had a blast. Autocross has almost taken over my life. I'm gonna do a few more events in the Nova but I think I have almost sealed the deal on a car for autocross only.

I am thinking I would like to lighten up my car.... 3280 (Full tank of gas without me) last time I checked it and that was before I added the frame ties.
