in CST, i'm a little on the slower end of the times.

The guys doing this in SoCal (correct me if I'm wrong here) are doing this for fun, though.

I was there for BOTH divisional days...in my CRX.

Yeah I usually ran my Echo for fun too. Usually with PCA. It was a total sleeper. With full on koni sports, sport springs, big whiteline sways, rear and front suspension braces. 15x7 wheels with Falkens. Porsche guys would laugh when they saw me drive up to grid and would cry when they saw times I was turning.

Look at their faces on this video as I drive back from finish after my run at local AX a few years ago. Hilarious stuff. They thought I had a huge motor in the car. It was stock motor with an intake. I had stripped all rear inteior and it weighed 1900 lbs.

I'm seriously looking at Yaris now. Was thinking of doing very lightweight car with supercharger. I was also thinking of really focusing on suspension and doing monoballs, possibly do something that would allow better adjustability of both front and rear aligment. I could drive the snot out of the Echo.

Here is my current car.
