Had a bunch of fun this past Sunday w/ my new GTI in a sanctioned autocross. I came in 2nd place ;D in the Novice Class (out of 6) and thoroughly trounced a '95 Corvette, several new RX-8's, Miata's, BMW 325, Integra and the like..... what a great and fun handling car at the limit and on a track!! I highly recommend everyone try to find your local Auto-x club and give it a spin. Although now I can't stop thinking about ways to tweak this and that for an extra tenth here and there..... lil' GTI.... wa wa wa wawaaaaaaa.........

I might be fairly lucky with the pool of miata crazed former race drivers that are MAC insructors, but typicaly these guys are awesome about giving advice. I have sniped some much instruction and advice from some seriously fast drivers. I can tell you it helps, I beat cars that i really shouldnt be beating. My advice is soak it up, and if they let you have the guys ride along as much as possible. The amount of tourqe the GTI has, you arent gonna loose much with a passenger, and you will get more out of it.


I would die to attend racing school, but since open track isnt really in the budget this year, i am more then content bugging the instructors, and the 2 ex F1 drivers untill they want to beat me.
Dave Grohl i believe is his name, Not a miata mucher, has a race prepaired MK2 GTI i believe. He is president of MAC.
