Autocrossing

Has anyone here autocrossed before? I did for the first time today

Was a lot of fun the Camaro handled really nicely but goodyear run-flats on back let me slide all over the place lol. Air dam hit the ground quite a bit too. Think i'll get some nittos for the car next year

runflats are the worst tires on the planet. Come to think of it, after running F1's on my truck, I'm convinced goodyear = ****.

I'll be buying Nitto's in a month or two, **** goodyear

Be careful not to starve the engine for oil. I would not even consider autocrossing without an aftermarket oil pan.

with a mostly stock engine it's not too big a deal, your not going to create enough g force to kill the engine,if you need an aftermarket pan, or want to race alot you use dry sump oiling
