Finally got pics of my first AutoX experience at Goodguys Pleasanton (lots of pics) As the title says finally got some pics from Good guys Pleasanton AutoX, I’m very happy with my car, of course since it was my first time I took the track kinda slow hitting a 43, but from what I heard I was one of the most improved racers getting to a 39.27 which was my last run before they shut the track down. On an avg of 41 for the quick cars. If I only had 2 more runs I believe the SS would have got into the 38s. The fastest car out there was Mary Pozzi's in her '73 Camaro. She ran a 36.5 I believe but she's also a professional transam circuit racer of 15 years, she helped me with a few pointers out on the course, same with some of the techs at hotchkis, THANK YOU MARY AND HOTCHKIS. 
Any way here are the pics

Seriously. The only thing that makes that autoX different from racing like an idiot on the street is there is a fence to catch debris when that truck rolls over and sheds all his 10's of thousands of dollars in suspension that will never see the mud or any real off-roading.

. The truck was funny he was out there having fun, he's on airbags and wanted to give the crowd a show by running most of the track on 3 wheels, think he got a 59 in his time.
no helmets?? im amazed they let the truck run. who organized this, with so little rules?

i do really like all the old muscle there.
it seems like it was thrown together by people who knew nothing about autoxing. maybe next time they should consult someone knows what theyre doing. what do you think would happen if someone totally lost it (ive seen it happen) and got hurt or hurt someone else? all without a helmet? and a passenger in a truck hanging out the window with possibly no seat belt? even the course looks extremely tight. albeit it looks like a very small lot.

Wow I didnt reealize LS1Tech had so many autox experts. The truck running around was stupid, but the helmet thing is a bit of a joke on a course where you dont even get out 1st gear. I wish I would have brought my car out there to play but was told my car was not old enough.
If you want to come ta bad *** autox eventy with some serious muscle check out American Autox Series. We just ran today in Marina.
