New to the forum
Hey guys, I'm Justin Dunaway. I'm a Junior in Sociology here at Clemson and I love everything about cars. I am currently driving an '06 Mazda 3 bone stock. I consider myself well versed in Hondas due to previously owning 2 Integras, an Accord, and a turbo Del Slow. I also have interest in LS1 powered vehicles or any car really when it comes right down to it. I've never autocrossed before but i'm going to try to make it out to the November 6th event. Looking forward to meeting some people and having fun!

RE: New to the forum
Not a thing wrong with an automatic lol. Not as fun, and not as much control, but you can still do pretty well with it.

[/quote] You sir just made a friend. But yes, I'd love to if that was meant as an offer. I've owned 2 Trans Ams in my time and my dad owns a C5 so i'm always up for checking out LS1 powered vehicles. |

RE: New to the forum
Welcome Justin... hope you can make the meeting wednesday night. I'm going to give a Ground School for Autocross... lots of tips to help people getting started with the sport and a few things that might help intermediates as well.
Look forward to meeting you. Ted Ted E. Bayer - Hillclimbing Understeer is when you hit the mountain with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the mountain with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the mountain, torque is how far you move the mountain. |

A catbus driver told me they have a "rodeo" on Nov. 5, basically an autox for buses. We should get a viewing party together and laugh.
