Autocross/Road Course anything other than your Camaro?

I didn't want to flood the picture thread with vehicles other than our camaros so I was curious what else have you guys been racing with and what class?

I started off with my DD at the time a 2006 Acura RSX-S in STS or CSP.

As I was getting ready to leave the Marines, I picked up a 1990 Mazda Miata to dedicate and try dominating my local STS scene when I got back home. Sadly shitty pics and doesnt look like that anymore. Cheap paint I used had really faded nasty, my ex crashed the front bumper/hood and its on jackstands with the motor pulled after I noticed it had a blown headgasket and decided to do the 1.8 swap. But... money priorities went else where so its gonna have to wait (plus with the Camaro now its prob not gonna get any love soon)

Try hustling this 4,444lb pig around VIR. Good fun though with 625rwhp and ran 10.70@128.5mph.

I switch it up with this one at Laguna Seca....It will run 1:47/1:48 which is exactly where most 1LE owners end up at, unless they have LOTS of time there.

very nice, liking the selection on here.

I wish I could do the exocet haha. i mean i have a 94 fleetwood with an lt1 in it, and i've been so tempted to drop it in the miata. but i really wanna stay sts since usually most competitive down here. plus financially easier than one of the modified classes.

also, so jealous. never been able to do a road course yet. I'm in miami so we have homestead speedway here, but really want to make the 3hr trip north to go do Sebring so bad. I'll prob do that with the Camaro one of these years.

I've been doing most of my track days on bikes on and off for many years.


I first started doing autocross with my wife's 2005 Scion tC which I honestly loved driving! Great little car! But then I enjoyed autocross so much I bought a 2013 FRS to run in STX Class.


Since I never truly "fell in love" with my FRS, I traded it in last year for the car I REALLY wanted all along. My 2010 SS/RS which I autocross now.

I started out AutoX my Camaro but then jumped in with NASA and got hooked after my first weekend. Then I wrecked my Camaro (huge rain storm, hydroplaned) and while that was in the shop I accelerated my plan to pick up a more track capable car. Since then I have been tracking my GTR, moved into HPDE 3 right as the season ended.

but here are a few

I get more seat time on the track in this piece of junk than in anything else:



I've killed more than a few cones in my '96 Impala SS:

I've been known to autocross a few non-Camaro whips:

I autocrossed this car a few times. Picture was taken in the mid-1970's during a timed section of a not-quite-a-stage rallye.





Probably from a Philly Region autocross at Ripken Stadium in MD, around 2005, so I have owned (and driven hard) a Chevy. Kept this car longer than any other (33 years).





And this Mazda, late 2000's at another Philly Region autocross. Car ran in 'Prepared' because of one picky little detail keeping it out of STS.





The first two are gone and the third is still in the family but not at this address.

I used to run a Nissan NX for autocross- what a great little car that was. Ran an MGB/GT, BMW 320i and a few others at Summit Point. Currently just the Camaro and Jag XKE.
