 I began autox'ing last year as FS in my Mustang.  Did'nt set the world
 on fire but had a great time and an anxious for this season to begin.
 Ran TOTALLY stock last year, (if you dont count the roll bar added
 for protection on my convertible and 5 point harness). This year I have
 added poly urethane sway bar bushings, will set camber to as far neg. as
 possible, and will be buying a set of BFG autocross tires.

Write your reply.

assistant: Where have you been dear boy.  Senna had been driving for Frank for a
 couple of years.
 It seems that ANY death in Italy has to be fully investigated. As the
 "black box" of the car was not working at the time of the accident there
 is a full enquiry into the cause of Senna. At one time it seemed to be
 a witch hunt, but now the facts about Italian law is becoming known it
 appears not to be the case. There are  some of track officials and race
 officials being "charged" to appear.
Initially I was ban Ferrari, rip up all the Italian tracks and burn
Rome.  This now appears to be a little drastic (especially as I am a
Ferrari fan). It seems once again the media has beat it all up because
it is Senna.  I believe that there will also be an enquiry into the
other death the day before but because he was not a high profile
driver the media have let it slip.

assistant: Re: Re: SCCA Autocross
Ron,
 What area are you in? I am in Central Kentucky, and there is a growing
autocross group here, my 914 is a '75 model, I am updateing the 1.8 liter
with the 2.0 liter that was also offered that year, I am thinking of removing
the front swaybar, as it make the car push real bad, unhook it and it doesn't
push bad at all. As for the BFG autocross tires, get them, I bought a used
set from a guy that still had half tread, and they made my 914 think it was a
new car! They will help more than you think, as for the neg. camber, the
BFG's will make the car think it has more neg. camber, it is the way the
carcase is made, and it realy helps. Well have fun, and maybe we will see you
on the track sometime!

Glen,
    That's OK with me. As I've said before, I'm not a D.E. fan. John
Andretti is showing some REAL speed right now and if he can preform as well
this year at Daytona, as he did last year, he could get his 1st NASCAR win.
I was never a Cale Y. fan when he was a driver and don't much care for him
as an owner. But, I think he got the better part of the deal when he got
John in trade for Jeremy Mayfield.
    Rusty is pleased with his testing so far and he is also pleased with his
prospects for '97. I wouldn't count him out to win the Daytona this year
either.
    Dale J. is also a REAL contender for another Daytona win. I'd be real
pleased to see him win the Championship this year.
    I'm glad Terry L. won the Championship over "the kid". "The kid" needs

had just stared driving for Williams.  His accident came in
his third race for the team.
It "wasn't working" because there was none.  At the time of
Senna's accident, F1 cars did not carry "black boxes" like
airliners do.  They did have telemetry readouts that were
radioed back to the pits, but no "data recorders" on board
(as the term "black box" would suggest).  It is Senna's
accident which prompted the coming requirement for F1 cars
to have such data recording devices.
