Sounds like the hook has been set! Try an HPDE someday and you'll probably have a new addiction....enjoy!

Very nice. Your car sounds great. I just did my first auto-x a few weeks ago and a friend stuck his gopro HD on the roof.

Where was this in Ohio? The course seems fairly open compared to what I have done. They do autox at Beaverun which is a facility near the OH line north of Pittsburgh.
I've done both autox and track time with my MG and TR. Unfortunately the Vette would need a roll bar to do track days and I don't see that happening.

Oh yeah! AutoX is fun. My complaint is that you don't get much time to run at most of the events I've been too. HPDE seems like better way to go.

This is at kilkare raceway close to Xenia Ohio North of Dayton.
At this event there were 25 cars and we got 10 timed runs.
This was the most fun I've ever had in any car my face still hurts from the grin

Also, that's the weirdest autox setup. around here its just parking lots. where you have to watch out for curbs, lamp posts, concrete barriers etc. its nerve racking
