I may have come in 6th from last, but I had a hell of a time! My tires aren't doin' all that great though... sidewalls! Note to self, next time more pressure.

My best was a 61.662 (technically a 63.662, because cone) which wasn't too far off the GTI guys (MKIV) times... about 3 seconds! They even complemented me!

So, all in all, not bad!

Bro, numbers!

I'm really jealous you have a TDI Sportwagen. Tell me it's a manual!

TDI autocross, nobody has done that where I live that i've seen.

I wonder how they would do in SP with a tune + lsd and good tires.

It's okay... I can have my Volvo, and a set of Hoosiers, and a set of good Blizzaks for winter, all for well under the cost of a ratty NA Miata. Then, I will AutoX ALL THE THINGS!!!

Lemme screw some steel bars in place of my front struts when I get my new tires.

Stiff suspension, yo.

I don't think that'll be enough.

My plan for next season is downpipe, lowering springs, and a swaybar to compete in STC.

I'm planning on a new car next season. Let's see how a supercharged Riviera with the "sport" suspension does against a hot hatch :D

Actually, I just remembered that next season I'll be racing a Formula SAE car.

Good luck.
