Smile First autoX of the season saturday

I'm so excited this will be the second time I get to race the SVT and the first time I raced it I had only had it for a week and the suspension was shot.

now it's got new suspension, plugs, wires, fuel filter and a tune I also just changed the oil last week so it's running like it's nearly new.

I will post a pic thread later.

I don't see why it really can't be competative deppending on what class your running, if you care. I've never even seen a SVT Focus, or focus for that matter compete in autoX. I haven't been able to make it to one single event yet this year, and we've had three or four already. I got the itch like a crack ***** to get out there and race. I need to see when our event is this month to see if I can make it, but I've got a Nashville SS open track event at the end of the month that is keeping me focused.

Good luck man, show'em what you've got.

The SVT was G stock last year but they changed it to H stock for this year

the first race that I ran it in I was 2/10ths behind a guy in a mini cooper s and he had the fastest run in G stock

that was in a car I was not used to yet with shitty suspension

If the guy in the Mini was a good driver with a well set-up car, and you were on target with him, then your doing good. They moved the mini to D stock this year because they have been so dominant.

Wow did that chick seriously hit the curb head on? I wanna go to an AutoX event this summer. They look like good fun and a chance to really learn what you car can and can't do.

No pics of your Focus?
