What style racing do you use your Focus for?
Multiple choice, pick all that apply! And post how you do in each event you participate in (times, where you placed, etc...)

Juantron - Autocross (SOLO II) - FSP puts me around the middle of the pack with PAX indexing, around 45/100.

I started AutoX my Focus in 2007, then HPDE, and now I do road racing with SCCA.

You should hook up with the NER SCCA and do some track days at New Hampshire.

I went there for first time to do a double regional this past weekend with my friend Dave. Check out the video I posted in the Road Racing sub-forum of him doing some pretty slick driving in the rain. (no pun intended, well maybe a little )

I'll get video of my sessions up there soon. I did OK for my first time at the track. It's small but very challenging. Want to go again......

(I was running solid 1:20 laps with the track configured to run turns 1 & 2 plus the north chicane for those that know NHMS. 100MPH into Turn 1, no brakes. Just crazy ! )

Bracket drag racing. I've only gone twice but got my times consitaint. I also said other because I wasn't sure if e-brake slides are part of drifting

Yeah, I didn't want to leave it out even though I know how unlikely...maybe some of the V8 guys get into drifting?
