Smashed brz was actually an example of daily driving commuting by a responsible driver. An example that accidents can happen, regardless. Believe what you want. I was not the driver.

Your analogy makes no sense. That doesn't surprise me though because you weren't able to comprehend the point of my suggestion for an alternative thread. At least you're consistent!

Everyone but Mac, do yourself (and the OP) a favor and delete everyone one of your posts in this thread...

Nice big delete button down at the bottom, get to clicking.

Sorry, no can do...

Remember, this is a "teen mom story" and I'm the stubborn pimply bleach blonde 14 year old girl who values oppositionality, trivial conflict, and skinny jeans. You are my morally proper Mormon comverted big brother who secretly parties on the weekends. Mac is the charming codependent father who enables us kiddos to individuate like birds flying out the nest. AyJay and ODB are the teenage baby's daddies who "shoot from the hip", attempting to maintain their sense of machismo chivalry but all the while earning "tsk-tsk" from passers by, basking in obliviousness with a curious sense of pride.

A lovely story, no?

Do you still autocross with SCCA? You'd be in BSP, right? I don't think your car would have a significant performance advantage over STR, though. So it wouldn't be too off comparing your times with other STR cars.

I used to and was thinking about joining again but wasn't sure, I like the people there but I don't like the system, it may be better now but I like the laid back scene at AAS and UFO.
Plus there was a whole stink about one of the people setting up courses, I didn't see any issue other than the fact the those two people didn't get along. Anyway lol I'm not sure what my car would be in, I think you're right about BSP though.

This is my biggest aversion to AutoX, are there any groups that do a more limited events that allow open practice runs, and then end with timed runs?

Not that I know of, the idea of auto x is to know what your car is capable of. You walk the course first to get an idea then drive it as fast as possible.

Your best bet at getting more runs with someone like AAS is to show up do a morning run group and your work assignment and then do the same thing aftrr lunch.
Im going to miss autoxing this year and maybe next year but buying a house was more important than racing.
