I have a different point of view, unless you are into hardcore road racing, you are expected to hold back some. While road racing is a rush, autox requires going all out to win. Going 9/10ths is losing. Autox is balancing on the edge of control, so I find it more challenging then just driving fast.

But each to her or his own, I know those who tried road, and never came back, and there are those who tried road, but returned to autox.

Btw, try prosolo, a mixture of side by side drag racing and autox. It is freakin' intense. Back to back runs in an elimination format. The closest one will be in El Toro, CA this spring. I hope to go, and I will post relevant info.

That would be a blast. My work schedule just will never slow me to make it

I'm an ass when people are stupid. That guy got mad at me.

Oh, we saw another Hot Lava FRS on the 101 when we were leaving Pavs; vinyl fender inserts, trunk piece (like Jeff's only matte black, not carbon), custom plate (SOHAIL I think), black Scion/Toyota emblems. Thumbs up were traded. Anyone here?
