Alright guys, i am coming out with 6 friends in my conversion van and i plan to run it…yes i know it sounds rediculus, but it will also be hilarious and will look funny in the pictures. Is impossible to have any or all of them ride with me? ---

a conversion van would most likely have the tendency to flip instead of spinning out, therefor odds are you will not be able to run in it. There are only a small handfull of trucks even allowed to auto-x. ---

There are only a small handfull of trucks even allowed to auto-x. yea i dont think u will be able to run the Van…like Andy said usually only the compact pick-ups are allowed to run IE s-10s and Sonomas ---

Van = no dice. Sorry. As much as I would like to see it run, it would be “unsafe” to do so. Believe me, I would have run the timing truck through it once or twice if I could. ---

I have taken corners in this before very hard and it always slides, it has never come close to flipping. Since its a no-go…back to plan A with the Buick Lesabre ---

cornering hard on the street is nothing like a slalom…offset gate or hair pin turn around tryong to do it as fast as u can at AUTO-X…ill say it again…pushing ur car on the street is nothing like pushing it at auto-x ---

I don’t doubt that the van can go around corners quickly without flipping, so can my suv. The problem comes with transitions, like in this clip: [http://www.ebaumsworld.com/videos/suv-showoff.html](http://www.ebaumsworld.com/videos/suv-showoff.html) Same type of transitions we do all day long at in an autocross. ---

Yea i see what you mean about transitions, i have only swung it around corners going one way and got it to fishtail. So definately not gonna attempt that. I will stick with the buick for now. Very good point JayS, because i also happen to be trying to sell this van:) [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/scca-solo-ii-autox-novice-school-4-22-06/9399.md?page=7) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/scca-solo-ii-autox-novice-school-4-22-06/9399.md?page=9)
