You didn't see the crash? It's in the video. Lol and yes, I made the video at midnight and accidentally added an S. I was exhausted.
I think by "hoping" he meant "glad it was"

Yeah I saw the crash in the video... that's what I meant. I saw the pics in the thread earlier and was hoping to see a video of the crash. Said video was posted, thus success!

With a modded suspension. No high center of gravity vehicles are allowed to run for safety reasons. BTW, mine's a 4 banger too.

All this autocross talk makes me want to build a full on autocross Ranger. Then I can smoke the North West Ark boys.

The beauty of auto cross is that raw power is trumped by handling all day long, which is why Johnbaum and jeweler had faster times than Stiggy and narc.

lower center of gravity, sticky tires, and a lot of seat time on a autocross track will get you competitive. Oh yeah , best shocks you can afford and make sure your suspension is tight. Autocrossing is a blast, I've done it in the past with a 65 mustang, 79 pinto, 04 and 06 VW GTI's. It is fun and addictive.
