I'm no big autox guy, but I think they need more time to get warm than an autox provides. I didn't find them to be all that great for autox, though I love them on the road courses.

Maybe on a very warm day. Although, my buddy drove mine in an auto cross in the fall. He never drove on the tires or the car on an auto cross and was within a second of the best drivers with dozens or more auto crosses in their cars. So I'd say two things, the tires must be pretty good and my buddy isn't bad either.

They are very good on the road course. They also like negative camber.
They do not like ran.

Hi how are things going with the powder coating? I do miss it. I checked out your site looks great.
