Hmmm I was surprised to hear John say this! So how
many out there autox because they can't afford to
roadrace? I'm sure most road racers see autox as a
poor man's roadrace. Or is it the brain surgery of
racing, one mistake and it's all over...Craig
How about a sexual parallel? Autocrossers do it by themselves (Solo TM?), road
racers do it with others? Hmmm? Either way is fun, but doing it with others is
potentially more fun, but more dangerous. Hmmm? With autocross, you only have
to be concerned with yourself, with road racing you have to be (should be)
concerned with others moves. Hmmm? Maybe we don't want to go there, after all!
Seriously, now. Road racing can be physically more demanding,that is why we
have medical exams. Autocross is more mentally demanding (IQ tests, anyone?).
You have to learn fast, with no prior experience on the circuit. In road
racing, you can work up to the car's peak performance. In autocross, if you do
that, It's June and you are in seventh place in class! - Seth Emerson
