Pic from my last auto-x (Big Pic for 56k)

I don't really post pics too often, but someone at my last auto-x snapped a pretty cool shot of me driving my hubby's teg on one of my pax runs ( the W is for Women's class on the car, i run open class STS on regular runs )

i like to get close to cones making hubby's arm go out the window

no the cone laying down is a pointer cone, so its supposed to be like that i'm just super close to the one standing up

the car was moving, that was just a hard turn that i was going around...you can see the suspension load up on the front passenger tire, its way up in the wheel well, and the car is not that slammed

auto-x is a blast

i wish i had a pic of my camry running

the license plate is fun, sort of a to all the ricers with VTEC tuned badges ... but they all want to race thinking there must be something under the hood other than a regular LS engine w/ No VTEC and 140ish hp

Hello sweetie, <kisses to ripley> =)

I am very proud of her.. she was a passenger in my car (integra) for almost a year before I finally got her out onto the autocross corse (as a driver).

She has drastically improved this year.. driving faster and getting really close to the cones. (as we see in the photo =) )

That is my Real plate BTW =)

Here is another photo of me at an Autocross, this time in a really hard turn.. : (notice the right rear tire =) )

Hydraulics would just slow me down

That is why I had my brakes removed.. they didn't do anything but slow me down!

I still think that it is cool that my WIFE wants to be out there with me on the autocross course.

Sweet. I rather see pics of your car though

Like his plates. I have always wanted to change mine to Ih8Vtec, but I know I would get keyed endlessly by ricers

I think I was able to pick up the Giant Hot Wheels stickers at Pep Boys.. slapped them on some thick magnetic material, for easy removal =)


And as far as times.. the courses are always different, so it depends on the course design.. but Keri has been drastically improving her times.. and I just put up a good fight to the rest of the guys in STS.. it doesn't help anything that 2 Past SCCA National Champions are in STS with me.. <sigh>

and thanks brink =)
