My first autocross, with the Capital Driving Club ( http://members.cox.net/capitaldrivingclub/ ), went great! I had a blast, good weather and a pretty fun course. I did way better then I was hoping, and even got compliments from a bunch of experienced drivers who were surprised it was my first time

To everyone who is interested in autocross, but a little scared to actually try it, just DO IT! You'll probably surprise yourself with how well you do. I sure did! Everyone I spoke to was helpful and easy to talk to, so don't feel shy.

Anyway, here are some pics, and I've got two videos to post up, as soon as I find a good host. Let me know what you think: suggestions, tips, and what you think I should add next (tires/wheels, shocks & springs, etc.)

congrats...next mod??? seat time...miata's do pretty damn good stock with a good driver...get a bit more experience in it, and change what you feel you need to...but most likely a set of tires would be the first...

 

Tires/wheels it is! That's what I was leaning towards...thanks for the input :-)

And don't worry about the seat time part...This autocross stuff is like crack.

I'm hooked for life.

 

Just be careful. One day you might graduate to harder stuff. Open Track....

 

Actually I'm kinda hoping that'll happen. I wanna head out to summit sometime in the near future...Now THAT would kick ass.

By the way, I appreciate the gateway drug humor there...that had me laughing pretty hard.

 

don't laugh, it will happen, and it won't be cheap

 

Nice pictures...I've been looking for a Miata to autocross for a while now.

 

autox midas well be a drug...

 

gotcha ;-)

I have no doubts that it will happen. I'm already about to sink about a grand into wheels/tires, which will be dedicated track wheels. I'll keep my stockies for the street. :-D
