Looks like an SVO Mustang, too...

Where did you end up finishing? I didn't know you could Auto-X with a passenger. Or is he an instructor?

 

[JDMcelica]

Its a Pontiac Fiero. Like a domestic MR-2. Very popular in certain circles because you can do just about anything to it. It was designed around one of GM's modular platforms, so a lot of stuff will drop in with minimal hassle. I even heard of a Northstar V8 running in one.

Oh, yeah. If you look on e-bay, there's about a million hokey Lamborghini kit cars based on Fieros.

 

[bengee]

Practically every fiero site has at least three lambo and ferrari kits... always the countach, f40, and diablo...

That blue car really doesnt remind me of a fiero... but hey my resolution is too large...

the course setup was very interesting. the moment you take off from the start line, there is a turn. you have to learn how to speed up while taking this turn from a dead start. then after completing the turn, its a curvy straighaway which makes a huge U. then you slow down hard to hit a "BOX" where there are Two 90 degree turns like this ] so its left then left again. then you enter this area called a "Gate" which are like slaloms cept you have to go through 2 different gates. Then you speed up into a huge sharp turn which you have to slow down and take it from the outside or else you lose alot of speed. following that are 8 cone slaloms, then a chicago box which is in shape of a hat (very hard to deal with) then its a straight away to the finish line. that was basically the setup of the course

But anyone can just improvise an autox corse? It's nothing official on paper is it?
