No, they just figure it's a 350Z

Thought I saw a saner bar FS in the August local FS thread. You going to pick it up?

Yeah dude. I was watching you out there. You're really quick...especially for you second autox. I've been doing this for over 3 years now...I definitely was not that good when I started.

Edit: what I just wrote reminds of the t-shirt I saw that said "You're really fast...I was hauling ass when I passed you!"

Will I be screwed with Kumho Ecsta ASX's on stock AP1 wheels? I REALLY want to get into autox, but my dad would only pay for my new tires if they were all-season's to handle the weather up here. I might not mind even just showing up to check it out.

Racing on sh!tty tires is better than not racing at all.

i pm'ed about the saner bar. never got a reply.
i highly recomend doing some autox event no matter what tires you are running or any CAR for that matter.
autocross will help improve your driving skill greatly.
autocross is as much improving you driving skill as it is poking fun at pat to make up for not being able to keep up with his time.
