When my supra was healthy and running I loved to Autocross it. The car is abolutly a blast to drive, throttle response crisp and addicting. During one of my runs I was approached by someone who wanted To ride with me. I said sure. Ran a respectable time of about 1 minute and 15 seconds. After there event they do fun runs , pay a buck and you can go out on the course. This same guy comes up and ask's if he can drive my car in the funrun, I say sure(having now been informed that he is 5 time SCCA autocross champion Alan McCrispin) He procedes to trounce my time by about 15 seconds, an eternity in racing. Sigh wned: much practice to do. He by the way had never driven a MKIII supra before and had done most of his driving in FWD cars :icon_frow
On another occasion I was on the way home from work on I-565( freeway spur off of I-65 in alabama) I see the black car getting on looks good, when he gets even with me he paces indicating he wants to race. I say Alright lets do it , punch the throtlle His car then starts to make some serious sounding noise and he procedes to spank me. Find out latter that its a preped Starion :icon_eek: My 86.5 NA was no match. As he is pulling away I saw eatheral blue flame from the tailpipe, very cool looking. All well I hope to meet him again after my 1jz swap is completed in about a week :icon_twis
