In reality SCCA road racing experience (or even track events) does not make you a better autox driver in the least. Youre in a completely different car and one thats not setup for autocross road racing cars (when properly setup) are no designed to do transitions that well and certainly not low speed turns just as an autocross purpose built car will not handle a road course anywhere near as well as a car setup for road courses. This is from my personal experience (while not great but still a few years worth) with my cars which were setup solely for road courses vs other integras (and other cars) that Ive driven that were setup for autocross... so IMO rainmanEK should not have run any class except novice he is a good driver which is why he won but hes not a good driver due to experience in this type of event.. anyone questioning that has an obvious lack of experience driving purpose built road racing cars..

sorry just my 2cents not trying to offend anyone not even you lenny.
