Subject: Autocross 93 

I took my '93 (base model) down to Texas World Speedway
a couple weekends back for my first autocross. What
a way to start! I took home a trophy (first out of one in AS -
that's what the new rx7s are in for now). I also heard they'd
be moving into SS sometime. That's where they belong.

Anyway, I timed myself against the Vettes in SS, and they
whipped my butt, although most of the difference was due
to my total lack of driving skills. We raced on the tighter
road course on Saturday and I really did bad (but boy was it fun).
Then on Sunday we raced on the more open road course that
includes almost 1 mile of the oval (including banking YAHOO).
I took top speed (radar verified) of all stock classes with
a 134. Top prep/modified speed was 142 by a mustang or a vette or something.
None of the stock vettes could get out of the 120's. Again, I couldn't
drive worth a crap so they still had me by 6 seconds/lap.

That's a hell of an autocross.

It takes some courage to keep your foot in it through the banking;
I doubt I was even close to the limit of adhesion, but the banking
really pulls some G's. It's pretty scary. I had to work myself up
to it, but I could finally hold it all the way through the banking and
come onto the straight at about 120 (speedometer), then get up
to about 140 (speedometer) by the S/F line, then SLAM on the brakes
and feel car shudder to a stop with no fade whatsoever.
Big fun.

So anyway they are pretty damn fast, given a competent driver.

Tom
