Would anyone else be interested in a auto-x/track (roadcourse) forum in this section? I know a few folks used to do this but not sure if they still do.
This is the only section I visit at the brand X site so I thought maybe we could use one here.

Considering the number of posts / threads the entire racing section is getting, trying to separate it into race types is pointless, I'm afraid.

Umm... you feel it's not fair to have to share all eight threads with the drag racing crew?

To be honest, I'm tempted to merge *all* racing back into the general section. I just don't think the racing section will generate enough traffic to make it worthwhile. However, I'll suspend judgement until we've given it a fair shake.

I used to auto-x my old 87 a lot last year before i sold it and the local club went under.

the mk3 may not be the best choice for an auto-x car, but its still tons of fun.

heres a few old shots from last year :)

Auto-x / roadracing is more than welcome in this section, so there is no need for another one :)

I encourage all the racing talk possible, even if you want to convert the mkiii to an amphibius vehicle and race on the water..... :D

dont give me ideas... :hsugh:

nice to know we are welcome here. I for one have no drag strip nearby to visit and dont intend to really drag ever so its nice to have a place to talk about other froms of racing. i agree that auto-x / roadracing wouldnt really need its own forum or sub section at the present time.

maby one day but certainly not now :)
