Well now you have! I figured I'd post some videos from our autoX adventures today.

It was Rob's (subie_sleeper) first autoX in the baja and he did great! Here is a video of one of his runs:

Today was my 2nd autoX....did a lot better then my first time out. Here is a clip from one of my runs:

Ben (Honestbob) ran his brand new hyundai, aka "the egg", since the wagon is in winter mode....didn't get any video but here is a pic!

No love for the egg or the baja? Well now that's just sad.

ive never seen an autox course so small

So much win with robs baja. Epic. That thing pulls harder than i could have imagined.

Sti looks good.

Hyundai gets props for autocrossing, its a sport for any and all cars. Great job!

I like the Baja, but I don't get excited about driving through road cones.

Yea....the course is extremely small but it's good practice for all of us beginners.

I thought the same exact thing before I did my first one last month. It's actually quite fun. The price of admission for autoX is a LOT cheaper then track days / road courses. I'd rather drive through cones once a month then only be able to hit the track 2-3 times a year. That said...I think we'd all like to do track days eventually but for now autoX is the cheapest way to get out and do something.

The egg had a grand total of 2500 miles at that auto x.

Subie_sleeper · 11-27-2010, 12:47 AM

I'm definitely hooked.

I REALLY can't wait for my bigger injectors & a retune now. Uber quick spool is already there.... A little more boost will eat up the tiny straights even quicker. Better tires & different pads for AutoX are on the list as well.
Oh yeah....... remembering the track so as not to get lost amongst the little cones..... that'll help too.

I think it takes auto-x to realize how crappy your tires can be rather then just driving it on the street. I realized that when we went down to drive the Tail of The Dragon.

Looks like fun.

Good job Rob! That's as nuts as seeing Chris' Forester at the auto-x.

I went into it expecting to burn off what was left of my Wintersport M3s

I got them in the winter of 06, switched out to summer rubber for four seasons and ran them from last winter 'till now. Needless to say, they're a few weeks from being completely bald

Next time I AutoX I'll be on Sumitomo HTR Zllls, that should help a lot.
My new snows should arrive on Tuesday.
