Default Autocross July 14th - Mineral Wells

Just registered for the AutoX out in Mineral Wells on July 14th. It'll be my first autocross and my first experience giving my Mach a beating and getting a chance to test out the built up IRS! Anyone else gonna be going? I'll be running my normal staggered Nitto 555's coupled with my lack of driving experience so I don't expect to do too well (plus my car will be classed with some high performance cars since almost nothing on the car is stock) . But I'm pretty freakin excited about it. So who wants to join me?

Sounds like a good time but I'll be getting drunk in a tube that weekend!

Nice. That's obviously acceptable. Looking at the rules, it looks like I'll be placed in SM class...not 100% sure what that means but seeing that it's at the end of the list, I'm pretty sure I'm F'd

Have fun! I wish I could make it but it's a week before I switch to Sundays off. Just worry about improving your times and run in the novice SM class. Get some video!

I'm sure I will! Wish I had a gopro. May just have the wife use my camera to take some video from the sidelines.

How much tire tread can I expect to blow through during this? I've got the typical Nitto 555

It means you have to wear leathers and be prepared to have your ass whipped...oh, wait...SM, not S&M...sorry.

I have a feeling it may be pretty similar...

Sweet. As fun as that sounds, I'm going to try not to.

I have the same tires and didn't wear through that much. They are not the best for grip tho

Default Autocross July 14th - Mineral Wells

I wonder what the average thread usage is on the typical summer tire during autox. I don't want to partake in these events only to replace my tires next year. :/

Can't worry about stuff like that if you are going to enjoy these cars. They have 400hp, they will eat up tires, esp if you drive them how they are ment to be driven
