Do you have any sway bars (anti-roll bars) with your H&R and billy sport setup?

Looks like alot of body lean! But cool none the less, im hoping to do the same with my 87 once i get the AMG springs and shocks plus sportline sway bars installed!

But, you kept all 4 wheels on the ground.....

I used to autocross a bit in an 83 VW GTI I had. The classes are setup (in SCCA) by hp/#, then stock, slightly modified, and really modified. So you should be racing something you have a chance at competing with. The SCCA group in our area had a "circuit" of many tracks around NC that you could run. One was an old airport near Kinston, NC that had this very long straight.... over 1/2 mile I think. Many were just parking lots.

The GTI was wound pretty tight - 4000 rpm at 70 mph in 5th if I remember and topped out in the upper 80's. I never tried the bigger courses, just did the parking lot and small street races. Some groups have a novice class too. In my novice runs I beat an RX-7, Porsche 911, and an early 70's Buick GS in my group.

It is fun and pretty safe racing. Many folks treat it like running a 10K. Some folks are there to win, some are just there to personally get better. You can often get 3 or more runs on the same track in a day so you can see your improvements. I would even recommend it for beginner drivers. Have them start slow - at their comfort level, and gradually push it. One lady dropped over 60 seconds off a 3 minute time in the course of a day.
