It's a blast. The RCSB rangers are very capable at handling with about anything when lowered and sticky tires. Our times were in the top 10 % of everyone that ran. The duratec is a nasty little autocross motor with its weight/balance and top end power.

Re: RangerFest 2013
Drag racing was only open in the morning for non competitors. I should have gone, but I wanted another Ranger to race against.
Something to consider about Autocross times is that even 1 second is a long time on a track like that. Even if you are only 2-3 seconds behind someone, it's very difficult to make up that time.
I know because I have a few friends who Autocross in competitions and it isn't easy.
