    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 :)

    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.

    How come some of the cones were on their sides? Was it windy that day? :lol:

    Nice video Allen! Thanks for sharing.

    Is it cheating to drive a NOT N MIATA at the Miata auto x? :p

    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 :)

    On Miata.net they refer to them as OTM. Other than Miata. :biggrin5:
