Cars you've autocrossed

This is mainly because there aren't any threads in this section, and it's a bit of a shame that the drag forum has more activity than the autoX forum.....So, post any recent pics of you autoXing any car, preferably a MR2, but if it's cool, post it up!!!

Link to pics from last year, RED Spyder, #31CSP; jwwPhotos . Possibly my favorite pic; jwwPhotos

I drove my '75&'76 Cosworth/Vega's from '80-'82, then I told the SCCA to get stuffed...my Spyder brought me back...

Looks like a Mr.McStubtronic F1/Indy car's retarded brother.
What type of engine in that thing? Any more photos w/body off or rear shot? How did it do?

The body bonded directly to the frame, so you cant take it off. On the red car, the sidepods come off, but I dont have a pic on my computer with them off.

Both those cars have a Kawasaki ZZR600. Per Formula SAE rules, we are restricted to a max. displacement engine of 600cc.





Sorry, I don't have any up close pictures on my computer, just action shots.

No pics, but I've autocrossed:

'91 Toyota MR2 NA
'85 Mazda RX-7 GS
'00 Ford Expedition (I didn't know a vehicle could slide sideways, while on two wheels, while hopping, and still beat Miatas)
'83 Mazda RX-7 LE

I think those are actually the only ones that actually made it to an auto-x.

Didn't know this section was even here.

Here in South Florida we have races 12 months a year and 4 different clubs to race with, kinda like racing heaven. If your wallet can handle it.

The only car I've really autocrossed:


I've only got one lap in the MR2 so far, as it's currently getting a new rear main seal and clutch. I'll post pics of it on course once it gets back up and running.
