I did quite terrible out there yesterday and wound up 8th/13! in ST. I spun, coned, or lost it sideways on every single run. It seemed like a power course to me, but I had fun and was glad to be back at WDCR events. I'm definitely ready for a new autocross car to replace my tired and slow...

Very cool, I am returning to WDCR events this year and will look for you guys on course. I assume you'll be there? Good luck at the Regional/National level events! I'm still waiting to see the final revisions/results of the ST classing scenarios for 2012 before I decide which Mazda I'll buy...

Thanks again for all the advice and guidance. I'll keep everyone posted if I find a sheel that will work for me. Ryan: your car seems similar/identical to what I'd be looking to do. Are there any parts or things you would have done differently a second time around? or are you still in the...

Thanks everyone for all the intuitive responses, especially Gavin!!! you've made me much more interested than I originally was. I think STX would be the class I'd consider the most... the SP classes are just way too expensive for that hundredth of a second AND I like how sticky the "street"...

Hmm... I love my RWD, but I always like to be different. I'm more of an autoxer than a track guy, so I guess autox class would be more important to me. I'm in the DC region, so any class would be very difficult to even be competitive locally. Since I'm not doing nationals, I guess this is just...

...or lack thereof. Sorry I'm not around much to post, but I've run my 318 in STS for the last year and a half with success (considering) and it's time for a new project for next year. I may just get another 318 since I know the car so well, but... My brainstorming has begun, and it's brought me...

I bought my Pyrotect SA2005 (made by Bell) from soloracer.com last year. I like it very much, but I wish I could have tried on some more brands. I have a huge head, and the XL is still tight if I haven't had a recent haircut.

Awesome man... I do most all of the events at Ripken, but I don't do the winter series UNLESS it's snowing.

I've seen a late-80s Jetta do a 1/4 flip and slide on its side, and I've seen a Volvo come very close after locking up and drilling a curb/island. The Volvo was like a seesaw when it came to rest on top of the island. I had pics on my old computer, but I can't find them on this one.

I checked out a couple Proteges yesterday afternoon, but none peaked my interest. The only ones I found local were 1.6L models and one ES automatic. Do all of the ES model Proteges have sunroofs?

Thank you Britt. Let me know if you find the link; I saw an ITA Protege for sale awhile back on Imp. Touring forums. I'm in MD, so that's a bit far if I were to pursue that car, and I don't think I'd fly to WA and pick it up without seeing it run/knowing the guy. sm76: Thanks for all the...

Holy crap this thread exploded! Thank you guys much for your help! I was being sarcastic about the part of having passengers in the back with a rollcage/bar. I guess I'm accustomed to the high prices of BMW parts which is why I don't want to track mine, but I'd likely opt for a custom cage at...

I'm pretty sure the DC region SCCA is also holding at least 4 ProSolo events of their own not including the National Tour stop.

I was hoping for a thin chrome roll bar one that I can still use the back seat, mainly for showz... I had a crazy idea that this platform might fit well into SCCA ITA in a couple years, and maybe the NASA TT/PT classes right now. I remember a bunch of Proteges running in Speed WC and various...

Does anyone have photos or a link to photos of a rollcage in a Mazda Protege, preferably from model years 99-03?
