DC Area Autoxing the GXP
« on: May 08, 2009, 07:39:42 PM »
I have been autoxing the Solstice with the DDM BB and Pro Beam a lot.  In the rain mostly.  Back to Summit Point tomorrow for more.  Probably in the rain, too.  Direzzas are awesome.  Finished mid class in BSP at Cumberland Sunday, against AWD cars driven by good guys.  Not satisfied, but pretty happy with how the car handles. 

Here are some pix:

Not quite where I want to be, but having a ton of fun on these long circuits!  Still trying to find time to mount the BC Racing coilovers, but a pretty full racing plate each weekend!

Generally, autoxing requires no rollbar.  True of all the clubs I run with.  You should try it!

 I am running the Sol with until my Daytona Coupe is ready, and you are right, its a tough neighborhood.  I run between 3 and 5 seconds behind those dudes.

Different courses, different days.  First shots are Cumberland Airport last weekend.  Second are Summit Point two weeks ago.

I wish someone would get an action shot!
