Hi all.

See above. Who is going? I know it is a way out but something that you guys can definitely plan for.

Yea... Thing with autox is that the course is never the same. You can go to sleep knowing that you will never have driven that course in under 45 sec. mwhahahhaa

PS: 1 sec is huge. It's what separated my HS Focus ZX3 from my friend's STU SRT-4 (granted that car can't turn very well).

^ You must have scored pretty damn well with PAX. Damn good job going from 55 to 46.

I wonder what they'd do for putting my Forester into a class.

'98 Forester

WRX struts
Prodrive WRX springs
WRX rear swaybar/mounts
Rear strut tower brace
Falken Ziex 329's on OZ Superleggera wheels

It's all stock stuff...from a WRX...except the springs and the strut tower brace.

I might come out and find out...I need to get into this sometime.

It's a system to compare your driving with drivers of other classes. Generally when you improve your time by a big margin, your PAX index rises.

That's naturally aspirated, correct? You'd be running STS.
It's one of the most competitive classes dominated by late 80s-early 90s Civics (those cars handle REALLY well, to say the least). Even still, it's all about having fun, and you'll have plenty of that there.

PS: There's a nice Forester 2.5XT that runs in STU (silver with black rims). I don't know if the owner is on here, but that car is hot.
