Message	I used to auto-x my 91 years ago with about 100K on the clock - all stock. That is back when the TT used to be in A class. I ran it in AS and the ASP once I got into the basics. The M3s used to beat me by about 2 seconds on 45 second courses. (They were on R Kuhmos) Then I got a set of used TOYO-Rs from Mid-Ohio. On those the M3s and I used to trade wins from month to month. After that I switched to the Hoosier auto-x compound (on the stock wheels) and I was beating them by about 2 seconds. That is 4 seconds on a 45 second course from street tires to the Hoosiers! I couldn't believe the difference, I used to have a bad habit of resting my right hand on the stick until I got those Hoosiers and I QUICKLY figured out I needed BOTH hands on the wheel to be able to turn it fast enough! Its funny, now that I think back on it, that is about the time those 2 M3s quit comming around:-) Get some race tires, TRUST ME! You won't recognize your car anymore.
