Thanks,

not insulting at all.

google is the bomb, use it.

or maybe ask jeeves (nicely) is more your speed?

Sorry, dude, didn't mean to offend. Search is always the best answer, though. If you'd Googled, you would have answered your question of where to get into autocross in the Houston area. You could have also searched this forum and found a recent thread about Houston autocross.

If you want spoon-feeding, maybe you should start a new thread and ask more specific questions?

chongopants · 11-09-2009, 10:46 AM

I did start a thread, and I did google it... its on this forum... lol...

I also talked to the head of the Houston SCCA, and even he couldn't give me a SOLID answer.... he said "show up and they might let you in a lower class", but I want to know the real rules so someone can't get pissy and decide to take me out for some small thing... I downloaded the rulebook and I have been reading it, but its very dry and I have a short attention span.

that sounds VERY MUCH like YOUR problem.

what do you want to run, and in what class?

chongopants · 11-09-2009, 10:52 AM

Yup it sure is, and thats why I was hoping that the people here would have enough tact to help me out nicely... I will leave you guys alone, and enjoy.. unsubscribed.

I know this isn't my fight but we don't need people like that on this forum there was no insulting comment toward anybody if somebody asked me I would have given the same answer how else is a person in a different part of the country supposed to know what auto-x events are available...grrrrrrrr....that gets me so worked up

yaris2010RS · 11-17-2009, 07:59 PM

I think you should start your own thread, as what you're asking has nothing to do with THIS one.

I agree in general, but you've got to admit that chongopants isn't very tactful himself, and makes some pretty rude postings, so there is a bit of history. Still, "agreed" that it'd be better to ignore a post rather than add fuel to the fire.

Also, Tamago will always find a way to give-out awesome information and piss you off at the same time.

I've auto x'd before, and I managed to stay competitive in my novice class. Its about ones enjoyment of ones car as opposed to what other people think imo. I have the URL to my competitions results. We had 3 Yaris's if you go towards the bottom in the Novice class. https://axwaresystems.com/axorm/file...232009_fin.htm

I run a 16.6 1/4 mile, AEM CAI, 14 lb oz wheels x4, g force a/s tires, complete rear seat removal, my tein suspension helps create better downforce, and CF trunk. My cousins stock 2001 Integra runs a 16.9 1/4 mile time.

Cool! I took 2nd in the Novice class this season, and was winning events towards the end of the season with my new wheels and Kumho XS tires on a much-improved alignment that wasn't there at the start of the season. The Yaris can be a terrific autox car - maybe not class-leading at NATS - but you MUST get a rear sway bar and some negative camber up front. At the very least, get the camber done, as the stock settings will have you plowing on every corner. It was amazing what the alignment did for this car. It appears the TRD rear sway bar is stock-legal as far as SCCA is concerned, so I'd go for it. With those 2 changes and some decent tires, you should be able to be super-competitive locally, as the quoted post and others have shown.
