I started this thread to find out more about the folks on this forum who are competing in autocross. I know we have everyone from beginners to a few class champions.

I thought it would be cool to see just how many autocrossers we have and follow everyone's progress through the 2006 season. So tell us a bit about your car, what class and region you're running in and how your season is going. Feel free to come back to your post throughout the year and give us some updates.

I'll start this off...

Car: 03 Focus SVT
Mods: See sig.
Class: STS
Region: SCCA #7 Chicago

My first event was missed due to my oldest son putting the Focus into a ditch 2 days before. The car has been fixed and a few suspension pieces have been upgraded. Event #2 is this Sunday and will be my first time out with the Focus. (I've been running a Mustang the last couple of seasons).

Car: 2003 Focus SVT
Mods: lighter OZ wheels on MXs, STS, VF Mount, and H&R 24mm Rear Sway bar
Class: STS
Region: Oklahoma City SCCA, North East Oklahoma SCCA, and PCA

I ran G stock last year for three events I believe. I moved into STS once the 2006 season started. So far I am in first place for season points, but I'm only there due to consistent attendance. I'm slowly trying to catch the first place driver. I've dropped the gap from about 2-3 seconds down to 1.5-2 seconds. I hope to take first out of consistency, but more importantly, I would like the honor of eventually beating the first place STS driver out of skill for one event (that would make me happier than getting first for the season).

Check your rulebook, but I think the high-flow cat puts you into STX (Street Touring Extreme). What's a Tom's Tune?

To all you noobs, here's an awesome at-a-glance classing chart:
SCCA Self-Classing Chart

Of course, the best thing to do is get a general idea and then ask a technical inspector for help BEFORE THE EVENT.

First race: Finished 3rd STS-Novice. I'm still just a weekend warrior. I'm not really there to compete. I'm just there to have a good time, hang out with good people, and see some pretty cool cars shred tires. My fiancee (wife in 4 weeks) drives my car also. Check out some picks in my gallery of her tri-podding the car.

Car: 2004 Focus SVT
Mods: KONI (front), KYB AGX (back), Kumho V700 225/45/17 on stock 04 wheels, K&N filter
Class: GS
Region: Oklahoma Region SCCA

2005: 2nd Place GS (only mod was KONI's for last half of season)
2006: 1st Place GS (so far)

I have run in 3 of the 4 events in OKC this year, two 1st place and one 3rd (LOTS of cones). I had trouble on my second event learning the limits of the V700's. Unlike street tires, they give no audible warning before breaking loose, and I was running my KYB's in back way too stiff and getting max oversteer. I have it under control now, just need to put the lessons I learned in EVO school to use on EVERY run. I messed up when I ordered my wheels for this year and they were out of spec in backspace so my V700's are on my stock SVT wheels and my "race" EXCEL F-1's are on my street tires. Ah well... looks good every day now

Going to get Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2's for next year (I had them planned for this year but went with the cheaper EXEL's... doh!) GS class usually runs 4-5 competitors but only 1 other (MiniS) wears R-Comps and won the event where I went Cone Hunting. This year my best finish in PAX is 17th of 112 and 42 of 112 overall.
