This is what rules my life now instead of gaming.

Autocrossing is pretty fun. When i was younger i enjoyed taking my $200 beater up and down the tight, twisty, and bumpy as hell forrest service roads. It got pretty scary when i was doing 40-50 mph down hairpin corners ON GRAVEL, and looking at a wall on 1 side, and a 100+ foot drop off on the otherside as i was powersliding the car around corners :eek: . Ahhhh yes the STUPID things you do when you are a kid. :D

P.S. I DO NOT condone doing what i did when i was a kid, keep it safe when driving.

Thats rallying, not autocrossing. Autocross is done in a parking lot.

Kind of a late response, but i was not trying to say that what i did was autocrossing, just sharing a life story that had to do with cars i guess =P. Good luck with autocrossing man.
