Well last night I went to that Auto cross comp I was talking about, At first I was like man I dunno, this looks pretty hard im gunna make a fool of myself. Well I did the track walk through got some ?'s answered and signed up. I talked with some of the veterans at the comp asking them for any advice, I got alot of advice from alot of diffrent people. Then It was my turn to go run the track. I think I made it clear to everyone that I was on the track, I was the loudest harding running person out there. My first run was a 1:10.23, My second run was a 1:07.11 my 3rd run was a 1:15.xx and my last run was like a 1:13xx. Alot of the people couldn't belive it was my first autocross event, alot of guys stopped giving me advice All in all It was a very fun event, I can't wait to go to next event * They won't let me compete in it * cuz its a high speed race and they don't want me wrecking. Its called the *bay bottom crawl* supposivly its a naitionally known event. I just found my sport.

Yall would have been so proud of me! Well, after I pay this ticket off, Im planning on buying rims for the car, then shocks, then dropping it, strut tower bar, and rear sway bar. Then Im going to upgrade the brakes, then the engine is going under the knife. So im going to keep dropping my time more and more, Mabey Ill make some people respect the Camry's they neglect as racers. I love being un-expected.

damn you can do all that after you pay off the ticket?
HOW MUCH WAS THE DAMN THING
just kidding good luck
The ticket was $171 50 in a 30, what can I say.....I was pissed off and chasing a DSM for a race. I just got caught by Key Wests Finest, When they do catch me, I give them their props and respect.....Im hard to catch I ussally see them before they see me. Anyways, Im just gunna tune down my spending and start saving, Of course my father is going to make it that much harder for me to order parts seeing as I still ow him alot of money, like $3,800 But I can sneak in some stuff, and pay him lump sums each month. Last check I wrote to him was for $700, I still have $400 In the bank Just incase I break something, Or get a nice speeding ticket. Oh yeah while im on the subject of speeding tickets, I got one more point to go till I get the GRAND PRIZE! But I make pretty good cash right now, about 4-500 per week, I support and bust my own ass for everything. If you want it that bad.....youll get it.

spare tire, carpet (atleast in trunk), you could get rid of the ac that will free up some weight, or atleast get a belt for a non ac motor and switch belts when u go to the track, it depends on if this is your daily driver or not, and how much of the interior you want to rip out, oooooooooooooooooooooo yaaaaaaa and if your car was ever in an area where it was really muddy get under it with a power washer i bet u could get 5-10 pounds of dirt out from under there if it was really bad lol
You could also run with no washer fluid or oil. And no windshield. Or hood. Lotsa weight savings there!
Hey, you can always just remove the back seat. That way you still have a seat for the gf in front with the added bonus of weight reduction AND nobody else can ride with you and the S.O. to interrupt your smooching time.
