Well, we did place two Fits on the podium at the opening Sacramento Region event. Granted the competition isn't as strong as the San Fransisco Region but it still was fun. As many experienced drivers (Soloist) will tell you.. The cars are usually the better part of the driver/automobile combo in autoX.
I can't wait until the region has it's solo driving school. I know that I can get faster with additional instruction and seat time..
BTY, if you go to a Regional or National event, and win, you can expect a protest coming your way for not having a stock grill on your car. That is just part of the game. live or die by the rules. Of course if you loose.. no one cares.
