What are you going to offer if you kill someone auto xing ????, not even the money, wow! both are dangerous . Face it any type of racing is dangerous ! But let me guess Mr Statistic it's never happened in auto X?? If we want to get petty , lets take all the old people off the road , young people etc !! You can state a million reason why not to do either. So since it's so dangerous I'm going to sell my Z and get bus passes !! Thought about a bicycle but I read they get alot in our area.

Damn this bunch of street racing pussies making up excuses since they can't even trust themselves to drive around a bunch of cones and get their asses beat by lesser vehicles.
If none of these guys can drive on an auto-x course without fucking up their shitboxes then I sure don't want their stupid asses anywhere near me on the street.
I bet the main reason whey they don't dare join us is the fact that they don't want to suck ass in front of a bunch of people cause they have no driving skills.

now how good of a driver are you? can you say you're the best driver in the world? if not, what room do you have to criticize? you obviously had to start at some point yourself, how would you have liked it if people just told you to stay away because you weren't up to par with them?

ok, let me give you guys the whole story here. me and 97blkz are both Marines and have both worked togeter for the past 2 1/2 years. we're both into racing, im into the imports(honda) and hes into domestics(chevy). i love how you can make a little 4 cyl kill a big V8.
97blkz told me about a year ago that no 4cyl could ever beat his car, either drag or autocross. he has since admitted that a 4cyl could beat him, but still has not been beaten. i have been trying to get this crx with the zc swap ready to kill him in the quarter. but recently found that it is going to cost me too much money to beat him in the quarter. so now, i tell him lets race autocross. we've both ran at the track, just not an auto cross track. i am very interested in autocross now, because my sole purpose for the past year was to build a 4cyl to beat his Z28.
i do agree that racing on an autocross track is alot safer and i would love to race and learn. i do, just like 97blkz, work for Progressive auto insurance. and we run into situations like this all the time from all over the U.S. where kids reck their cars racing, and we refuse payout, and turns into a big legal mess. so i understand his concern for that. thankyou for telling him its not dangerous cause i want him to come out and get beatin by my "little 4 cyl"
porche, you call us pussies?????? remember i told you i have a boxing ring in my back yard???? Me and 97blkz would love for you to come over and show us how we are pussies.

This is the internet. You're just supposed to talk up whatever you do know as if you're a salesman for it. i.e. I drive a Supra and a Corolla therefore 2JZ is the greatest and so is the 4A and I don't care about anything else because it's all crap since I don't have it. I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.

I'll race him at an autocross with my 135hp 4 cylinder that runs STOCK class.
He needs to learn that money and skill are not the same. And no, I'm not the best in the world. But I don't suck either.

Is that someone complaining that they fear the financial issues if they screw their car up going 45mph around traffic cones yet being cocky about how cool they are that they went 150mph down a public highway is RETARDED.
I'm quite competitive when it comes to autocross, but I'm still friends with my competitors, and at the end of the day, nobody is mad at anyone else.
