I used to love to autocross but I would get into it in a new area I lived in for a season or so then get bored again, once I started running track days and then time trials I have only autocrossed a few times since. The main thing I miss about autocrossing is hanging out with all the cool people that go, some of the very best I have ever met, SoCal, NoCal, Portland, events at Packwood, Seattle area, Eastern WA and Utah and once in So Idaho and at national events top names in SM class, etc, all really great people. I have met many national champions and they were all just great to meet and hang out with, instruct me, let them drive my cars to see how they liked them, etc.....
At the track there is not as much time for it, not working the course, sorting out the car if needed, spread out further...still meet great people, a few snobs in expensive cars but most of them are cool and I respect anyone taking a high end car out and going all out in it. I have been blessed with parts to fix an issue, nitrogen to fill the tires, a ride to get something I needed, and I do the same as well when I can of course.
I am really looking forward to meeting all our fellow FiST enthusiasts I can at any kind of event I can get to, much fun there as well
