Just a quick FYI the Miata club has their first AutoX of the year this Sunday at teh Historical Society. Fun group to run with and it looks like an interesting course, due to a new obstical in the lot Buckeye Miata Club - Autocross Dates
I will see you there Allen! The big question is: Do you believe your new Subie will run faster times than my Mini Coop? I really hope it is dry- 40% chance of rain in the forecast.
Looking at the course I think I have a fair chance of putting down a good time, there is nothing stupid tight on the course so my power should help. That said this will be the first time I have really pushed the car so I might spend the day spinning and laughing. Either way my only goal is to have fun so I am already a big winner

Here is a video of one of my runs, I should have another one with in car footage (including a stint in reverse) in the next few days: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_safs6k1NoM]YouTube - WRX Roof Camera 5/15/2011[/ame] If you ever wondered what AutoX is like just watch the video this was a pretty typical course the whole thing was done in first gear.
Jim - those are pointer cones to tell you which side of the cone you have to drive. Chuck - they refer to the non-Miatas as family cars
