> Autox locally can be rough on a car because of some of the lots used, but failures while running an autox are rare. The smoother courses at the national SCCA events really dont do damage to a car nor do race tracks. I’ve broken more stuff hitting potholes on the street than I have on smooth autox’s and tracks.

Very true, many of the bigger events run larger courses where you definitely get to go faster, and the lots are generally much smoother, mainly because if they weren’t it wouldn’t actually draw enough people to be that large of an event… and a track event, well, I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that wheel-consuming potholes on a track would probably upset a few people…

That being said, a woman from my work asked about the ‘races’ I was going to this past weekend… (she’s got a newer GTI, so of course she wanted to go race) - anyway, I had to explain to her how it was actually challenging and fun to do less then 70 mph in a parking lot around a bunch of cones. One thing that kind of put it into to her head was when I explained to her that you really need to empty everything out of your car so as to not have stuff flying around and hitting you possibly.

Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, besides, I still enjoy racing motocross more than competing in autocross, of course, but- sadly, competing at even a regional level, autocrossing my car has been cheaper (still) than racing motocross.

I’m just voicing my opinion on auto X. People like different forms of driving, which is completely fine by me, but what would this world be if I couldn’t talk shit about things I don’t like?

I really just wanted to see how pissed I could get people over something as stupid as a thread bashing their favorite form of driving.

it seems to have worked…

Racing Motocross is crazy expensive…thats number one reason why I dont do it anymore. I cant afford to put money into my car which is one of my hobbys and travel around every weekend to race motocross for my other hobby.

race Gas, racing fee’s, district cards, AMA cards, food, toll fee’s, mechanical failures etc. etc…its deff. more expensive then driving my car.

Having to travel to enjoy your toys sucks. It’s cool when you can drive to see your friends in comfort and have a little fun on the way if you want. I’d much rather be in a bar Fri/Sat night then doing ANYTHING automotive/motorcycle/etc related.

Do you know me? I think not…

I’ve been involved in all sports of motorsports and I’ll choose being social in a bar on a Saturday night over all of it, unless it’s paying me a shitload and then I might consider it.

Meet me at exit 28 in an hour (easily accomplished from exit 11), and we will run from 60-150 for a grand. You’ll get to see me go fast, and I’ll make a G. We both win.
