I don't know how else to give photo credit, but Hunter Kelley took them and posted for free. They are pretty great pictures, thanks for your services!
This event was on sat 12th in Hartford,CT.
Speaking of CT anyone driving down to the autoshow tomorrow? I'll be headed down early just after 7. Hope to see you there.

"Hunter Kelley" is eerily similar to "Helen Keller". Since there was blur in the down-sized Kinja preview, I feared the worst. Fortunately, undead Helen Keller did not take these pics under a pseudonym - not at all.

There is NO CAR under $30k that likes three wheels more than the ST. I'm in love with this thing.

look at the understeer in that second pic! The steering rack is so quick it's easy to do with cold tires, once they warmed up they helped rotate quite nicely.

I filled my tank and the gauge never moved. Averaged about 17mpg.

If I got to autocross, I generally try to have the tank between 1/2 and 1/4. Saves weight!!! You don't want to much sloshing around down there.

yeah I don't know what I was thinking, afraid to cavitate I suppose. I'll be much better prepared this week, not bringing the spares or jax or other half of the tank!

I had a full tank on my first autox, then someone took a ride with me, and gave me this tip. Its so simple but effective! Taking the spare out is another 20 lbs. If you can get a muffler delete just for autox that is another 20 right there.

Nice. Did you dip the wheels that color? I love the gold wheels with the blue paint.

I've heard its a bad idea to have pictures around of your car with places autoX'ing, and that if your auto insurance for some reason got a hold of it, you could find ur insurance prices going up...just what I've heard

I wondered about that. Suppose it's too late now, haha. IM NEVER GOING TO AUTOCROSS AGAIN. Just so it's clear. Ever.

Lolol, guess they can't raise ur insurance then if they see this ;) I'll be removing mine..you know, if I ever auto X, which wont happen >.> not ever <.< Could you even imagine a 350Z on a Auto X course? That wouldn't even make sense! ....*clears throat quietly*

I've never heard anything about insurance going up, but the dealer may void your warranty. I've Mitsubishi used send "spys" to auto-x events and void the warranties on recently bought evos. Varies a lot between manufacturers though.

I'd say minis like it even more, with the STs being a close second.

Could see that happening too, and I'm sure this Ford is young enough to have a warranty still

Www.cartct.com its in an LAZ parking lot just off 84 and 91. You can't spectate(unfortunately) in the parking lot(liabilities) but there is an access road to the lot that plenty of people park at and watch/photograph. Action doesn't start until about 12 so no sense in coming early. Best bet is to empty your car and bring $40!!

this Sunday! Check out the schedule at cartct.com. It's got directions there, and they loan out helmets. It seems to be every two weeksish.
