Houston AutoX Regional 2 Feb 2013

[tukaniSVT]

So, we had our Regional 2 AutoX race on Feb 3 2013 here in Houston, TX.

And I was able to take way more photos this round than on any other event time. Because I have decided to volunteer more and help the commitee ... giving me more time to take photos. WOOT! [woot

Well, with out further wait ... here are the photos.

Nice! Sad to see the GT-R being a cone murderer though lol

What do the letters stand for by the numbers, or are they just a continuation of the numbers?

The letters are actually the cars' class. Based on the modifications that the driver declares and the rules set by the SCCA, you get put into a class with similar cars. FST is F Street Class for instance.

The numbers are usually chosen by the driver. Check out SCCAs website for more info.

^^ Yup ^^

It helps break everyone down.
- 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder, etc.
- Natural aspirated, factory turbo, etc.
- lightly modified, highly modified, added Force induction, etc.
- street tires, race tires ...

And so on.

Helps make the competition fun and evenly competitive.

Yeah man it was great. The weather was perfect and the course was quick.
Fastest time of day was 44 secs and slowest time was 58 I believe.

My fastest clean run was 52.6. But I did hit 50secs ... but with a cone. stinks.

Next one is at the Police Academy.

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the photos.

Yeah, the good thing about South TX, good enough weather to run all year long. So, one event each month. It does get scorching hot in the summer though.
