Yea definitely changed my mind on autocrossing. I'm not going to try and race 200whp cars with 80whp, definitely gonna pass on that, no point in trying to win something even a pro couldnt do, and spending money to do so :roll:
seriously man, just go out there to have fun. if anything, you'll learn some of the limits of your car's handling that you will never reach on the streets. also, don't worry about horsepower. good driving skill will enable you to go much faster than your horsepower would make you think. (trying to be modest here) at my first auto-x, my lard-ass 150 horsepower accord was able to post better times than some wrx's and a bmw 330ci. those cars are far better on paper than my car, but my times were better because i outdrove them (or so i think). i can't tell you how worthwhile my $20 bucks was for that one autocross.
most of the people that autocross do it for fun, so don't worry about trying to win. think of it more as a cheap performance driving opportunity
