Thats a new quote for me!
thanks for the advice, and i suppose i should give it a few shots!
Just some background:
I'm from lancaster PA, which is also known as Amish country. While the city is a decent size, there are a LOT of back roads. FUN back roads. The kind of roads that absolutely NEED to be closed off a few times a year for motorsports. I'll have to get pictures, as no words will justify the amazing rally courses that are the roadways in my area. Maybe i'll get a camera mounted so i can REALLY show you.
Anyway, i guess since i never did autox, just watched, i just cant understand how it could POSSIBLY stack up to the 'road coarses' near me.
Like i said, i wont cut it loose and open up around here, because people live on those roads, and i'm not gonna risk thier lives for some fun. I'd like to find a road coarse where i can actually push it 9/10ths and not worry about someones dog/child/wife.
