Auto-X has a lot in common with karting. If you are sliding or spinning your tires you are slowing. Also, at this point there is nothing you can do to your car to make it faster. You need SEAT TIME running auto-X.
After a event, ask yourself if a better driver could have run a better time in your car (or if you are lucky there is someone running the same car)? Do not drop money on modifications until the answer to that question is no. Save your money for tires, entry fees, and spa days for your wife/girlfriend.

Yea I definitely need more seat time. The second auto X I did was a lot better, I won the whole thing and there were no classes, everything was open. It wasn't as official as SCCA, but there were a lot of cars. You saw the other post because you commented. In that one, I knew the car limits better and I knew not to slam on the gas when exiting corners lol. Let's see what happens on the next auto x. The only thing that I've ordered recently is the fast intentions catback exhaust, I could not hold myself because I want to hear the car lol. I bought it at the end of august and I'm supposed to receive it at the beginning of December. I can't wait. This 3 month wait has been torture. Many people have told me that it is worth the wait.
