Yeah, Auto-X = AutoCross
Basically they set up a roadcourse, in some abandoned parking lot, or in this case an airport, throw some cones in and let you drive in and out of them at break neck speeds... provided your car can achieve said speeds.
Cost is.... I dunno, I wanna say it cost me like $30 last year when I did it.
It is in Columbus,IN, about 30-ish mins south of Indy. Like 2.5 miles from the last Columbus exit.

I just got my sway bars today, so i SHOULD be ready for this crapp.

that's a great writeup! ;)

autox is a riot!

Wow...SOUNDS fun...but with a stock suspension being so bouncy, I dont know if my poor old Poopra could handle taking some of them turns:cry:
I think I'll just keep playing Xbox on Forza and pretend to be in my Supra.:arcadefre

When is this event taking place? I'll probably at least come and "watch".

you'll only blow a HG if you do something stupid like overheat it badly or run too much boost w/not enough fuel...if you're worried, retq.

so you're too chicken to drive under 40 mph around cones yet you'll redline each gear to top out around 100?:dunno:

Are you serious? Cops wouldn't even turn their heads to look at you for going 4 mph over... Hell they'd probably pass you, maybe pull you over for holding up traffic. It seems you have to be pretty stupid to get a ticket around here. I would Effin kill someone if I got a +4 speeding ticket.

Wow. That's almost as bad as getting pulled over for going 34 in a 30.
Happened right here in the fine city of Shelbyville because cops dont like the ricers around here....but then again, who does:naughty:

^ lol, did you just call yourself a ricer?

*edit*
4 over in a 30 and 4 over in a 65 are almost 2 different worlds. Not really, but I could see how going 4 over in heavy traffic could be a bad idea, mainly because people suck at driving.

4 over in a 30 is like doing 8-9 over in a 65 percentage wise...though cops probably are not smart enough to realize this...they just hate ricers!

i'm sure it was far more than that....they just wrote it up for 4 over.

Ack, just saw this thread. I avoid the forums when I shouldn't be spending money on the Supra. :)

I'd be down for an Indy meet. I'll even show up in my Supra, if the meet occurs before or after I tear her down. I'm not sure where I'll be on May 6th, but it's likely I won't have started yet.

IRP has street-legal races on some Saturdays. More information can be found on www.irponline.com -- I'd find it myself, but their website is down at the moment.

Hooters is cool, but I would say it is a bit small/unwieldy if we're going to have more than 6-8 people.

Jspec: I emailed some questions about their dyno to that speed shop you linked -- we'll see if I hear back from them.

Dr. Jones: You wouldn't happen to have a spare block and 7m crank laying around, would you? I'd have considerably less downtime if I had a spare to hand over to the machinist. :)
