I ran my first auto-x yesterday and it was even more fun than I had expected. Road America hosted a winter auto-x and I figured I might as well try it out. I convinced my brother to come with and we both had a blast. It was something that we had been wanting to do for awhile but just never went due to various reasons. Conditions were iffy most of the day, temps in the high 30s and rain, so most of the ice that we were racing on disappeared and lakes formed. To make our first times even better was the fact that we had the 2nd and 3rd fastest times of the day on the auto-x. I lost out on the fastest time by 0.2 seconds. Anyway I just figured I would brag a little bit and let everyone know that the disease has spread a little more!
Welcome to the addiction.....it will probably hold you tightly for at least a few years.
Congrats! I remember my first autocross almost minute-by-minute, and that was in February of 1983. I still get the same adrenaline rush; my hands were shaking yesterday after each run like it was my first event.
Well done in difficult conditions, welcome to the mad house
Well... I can imagine plenty off other things that would be worse to be hooked to. Next step Rallycross. ![](/media/img/icons/smilies/crazy-18.png)
Congrats.
(I started writing this an hour ago. Damn trucks.)
My first auto cross was called a gymkhana.![](/media/img/icons/smilies/crazy-18.png)
Congrats! You are one of the fold now. Your insanity will deepen as you determine what your favorite style of motorsports is, and you sink more time and money into that. Keep autocrossing. Look into track days and maybe rallycross or drift.
