Oh, I didn't notice that was on that autocross was on the 11th. I thought that it was part of the speed festival. Just posted the entry forms i got sent.

Motorsport South Africa - they control all motorsport event in SA. It seems to enter you would have to apply for a MSA licence. Try their website for more info maybe.

I'm not sure, it seems so from the entry form but I'm sure anyone can enter. I'l mail the guy again and ask.

That would be the MSA licence I think.

Well, I don't know what the story is. Thats as much as I know.

Gary, don't you wanna race?

Gary57 · Post by **Gary57** » Thu May 08, 2008 1:59 pm

Na its my everyday car so dont want to take the chance. One of you guys race then Ill race you and get a good guess to how fast mine is.

Trance101 · Post by **Trance101** » Thu May 08, 2008 3:20 pm

But, your sx is tuned to be fast and reliable and the track is the safest place to test it and see the results of all the effort that you have put into it. Wouldn't that be the best place to test it? ... Sorry not having a dig at you, just don't understand.

Gary57 · Post by **Gary57** » Thu May 08, 2008 4:01 pm

The thing is when you are in front of alot of people you tend to push it slightly more than you should, like when racing an M3 or something. This hurts the car no doubt. Yes my car is fast and reliable, keeping it reliable is the key.

Times mean nothing to me, you wouldnt believe me if I told I did a 13.3sec 1/4 mile now would you. So then there is no point in getting times other than to set your own mind at ease. For me I know my car is fast, I have run a Supra that does consistant 13.3secs and ran with my nose slightly in front of him, for that reason I can say I would be in the mid to low 13s, this is good enough for me.

Besides I rarely get a good pull off and will no doubt miss the gear change or something, thats just my luck

.

You guys race, Ill watch and support
