Auto-X N Charleston Coliseum 9/27/09

Just wondering, because you handicap yourself running in SM on street tires. If you run in the tire class as a SM car, you have the PAX index (while flawed) to even out the results. I could probably run in STX, but my gears put me into SM. I really don't feel like competing against WRXs, anyway. Being classed with a car that has more power, less weight, better grip and handling is hardly my idea of a fair fight. Either way, this is just my first year of autocross, and I am still honing my skills. After this season, I hope to be able to make some further improvements to the car; and, hopefully, some improvements to my skill level. I am having fun regardless, and I guess that is what is important.
