I just got started last year. The more and more I autocross, the less and less I'm impressed with straight line speed as a measure of performance. To me, it's only about 2000% more fun and addictive than dragracing.
My latest autocross pic (me almost loosing it at about 50 MPH on a banked 1/4 oval track littered with slalom pylons)
