we both go to Mason. He's been doing it longer and much more often than I do and he does all kinds of events. I just do whatever he does (since I drive his car or at least had been) and idk what they are. I will be doing scca mainly when i start. I thought about doing rallycross and I may end up doing both. we'll see. ill probably stick with auto x since thats what my friend does and ill have someone to split hotel costs with and chill with at events

I'm GMU alum as well.

I can tell you, though, that rallycross is 100x more fun than autocross. We currently have 3 local e30s (with 7 drivers) rallycrossing locally right now. The guys who run e30s also do autocross, track days, Lemons, and drift and rallycross seems to be the favorite for all of them. It's also the one where driving is way more important than how fast your car is. My M10 318i is 2nd in points this season in the RWD class, even with only 100hp!

Also for comparison, at a typical SCCA autocross you'll get 3 or 4 runs for a total of about 3 minutes of seat time. A typical rallycross you get 10-15 runs for a total time of about 20 minutes of seat time......so alot more time in the car having fun!

What do you mean about hotel costs? There are like 6 local autocross clubs, so there's no reason you would need to stay in a hotel. All are within an hour drive of fairfax.

Anyhow, I live about 10 minutes from Mason just off the parkway in Burke, so if you ever want to stop by and check out a rallycross setup e30, or talk about autocross (i've been doing it for 15+ years), you're more than welcome. I'll be around the house most of the day tomorrow and friday working on the car and yard if you're at class feel free to hit me up.

cool.....lowered red civics are pretty common at autocrosses, lol. Also great cars for autocross.

I used to run a DSP/EP Maxima. My WRX is SM-classed right now but I haven't run it this year. Kind of got tired of autocross after a few hundred events....especially since the WRX really can't hang with the STis and Evos in that class.

STX is gonna be challenging in a M10 car, good luck man. Cool to see someone want to give that motor some love.

stx locally would be challenging in any e30. Too many EJ20 WRXs.....

great now i gotta do more research lol i'd probably do better in rallycross since most of driving experience is in my jeep, offroad (id dont go "mudding", i actually drive). but i will definitely look more into it.

and sometimes that trey goes to are a few hours away and after a day of racing, getting a hotel and drinking a bit is always fun. kinda make a whole weekend out of the event.

and im not in class now. wont be going back till fall. im currently in warrenton, so im too far away by any means. I will definitely come up there soon! i need to wash both cars and clean the interior (just slept in my wagon last night after a party lmao)

haha ya i guess that didnt help much lol

well, im not a super competitive person. i really just enjoy driving so i know it wouldnt be a very competitive car in STX but with a little set up, i can have fun in it

stx locally would be challenging in any e30. Too many EJ20 WRXs.....

i feel like everyone and their brother know owns a subie or evo. i thought about financing a s2k or older wrx but i've got a thing for 80s cars and my work is so unsteady I wouldnt wanna end up in major debt



so i will start looking into rallycross now!

meh bisi never drives his cars. he builds him, shows a few "supposed" numbers, and then they get carted to shows. and i've seen him be a complete douche when people contest him. he's a legend but i prefer this guys:
