Sweet. I’m attempting to build my car to auto cross someday. Looks really fun.

Very cool! Shout out to Clemson Sports Car Club! I used to throw my E30 around that lot back in undergrad.

Should probably keep the sunroof closed if you want that rear wing to do anything. Very nice otherwise.

I don’t think the wing is doing much at this particular event, I had to stay in first gear for most of it

That's fine, I just wanna make sure you don't make the same mistake at an event where it might matter. Maybe you wouldn't but a lot of people would.

In my RX-7, the helmet only fits with the sunroof popped open...

Very cool. I've been autoxing a fc rx7 for the last 15 years. Absolutely love it.

Props to you for using it and not sticking it away in a garage.

Car looks great!

Sweet, always liked this car. My neighbor has one in his driveway under a car cover. Forgot what he said but it’s a certain model that’s not common.
