I did my third autocross in the Alero yesterday. I connected the rear strut brace this time but I wasn't going any faster... the front sb made the bigger change performance wise but both made the car feel much smoother. Here are 2 videos that survived my crappy camera setup:

Next time I'll try to mount the camera on the windshield to get a better angle. Also by the next even I should have my shocks and springs installed. I'll post another review.

why in the rain? and yes a wind shield mount would possibly be better

Gee, you stumped me with that question :smokin: ... a few good reasons why we autocross in the rain:

-It rains 16 days a month on average here... for november it's probably more like 20 days.
-It's fun to race in different conditions to find the limits of your car.
-Every other auto-sport does it.
-The series is called the slushed series (can't wait for it to snow)
-Rain gives FWD cars a big advantage and it was fun watching the s2000s and M3s spin out over and over :p

wasnt trying to stump you *cough* dork!:P anyway I didnt know, I thought auto cross was dirt racing, but what the hell do I know. Absolutely nothing about racing so dont worry I was just wondering.

That would be motorcrossing and it's for bikes... Much more extreme than autocross I think.
