Autocross report - Atlanta SCCA #3
Sunday, March 30th, 2008It seems that this is your first visit. Would you like to subscribe? Enjoy your visit!Just got back from the autocross (link not live yet). For those of you keeping track, this was the second time I’ve autocrossed by buddy Mike’s 2000 Corvette.
The course was pretty fast and had several high speed sweepers.

It’s Autocross time again
Saturday, March 29th, 2008 Here at IfitsGotanEngine.com it’s autocross time again. This time I’ll be driving my buddy’s 2000 Corvette convertible, as none of my vehicles are currently in good enough mechanical shape to autocross. (The BMW needs brake work, and the Audi needs CV axles).
The first car I ever autocrossed was a 1977 Porsche 924 that I […]

If you’ve never seen […]

BMW 1-Series
The 135 […]
Another autocross - in a Mini Cooper S
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007This Saturday I had the opportunity to autocross my buddy David’s 2003 Mini Cooper S. (Click on the picture for a video.) His car has been modified with a stiffer rear sway bar, lighter wheels and stickier tires, and an overdrive pulley for the supercharger. It was a blast to drive.
This was my first time […]
My Return to Autocrossing
Monday, June 25th, 2007If you’ve never heard of an autocross, it’s a miniature road-race usually set up in a large parking lot with the course typically marked off with traffic cones. One car at a time, against the clock. It’s also an absolute blast. People show up in everything from heavily modified Corvettes to shifter carts to bone-stock […]
