I think this is from 1972 . 1969 Cooper S. My first gymkhana was in 1965.

1999 at the Allegheny County Airport. I bought Mom's Civic DX for $500. It needed CV joints, but I found that complete "race" axles were cheaper. Then I found out about swapping in Integra parts. Then I found Mike Ancas' Book on Civics. Then I found Mike. Then I found GRM. The rest is history.

The Civic eventually saw track duty, dig those centilevered slicks!

Circa 1995, one of these cars was sold to people who want to race it again, the other is apparently in a field waiting for rescue or the grass to claim it.

What wasn't hot in FS in 1985.  1984 Pontiac Phoenix.  Through judicious use of the ala carte options, this is how you got a 5 door Citation X-11.  2.8 HO V6, F41 suspension but sadly in FS fighting TPI Trans-Ams and Holley 4bbl four-eyed Mustangs.  Pontiac only came with the 205/70-13 tires.  This was shortly before I bought my first set of takeoff wheels, from an X-11.  Sadly no pics of that setup.  Circa May 1985, Dayton, OH, WOR-SCCA, Hara Arena

 

Not on course but I thought the grid shot was tastier.  Feb 1988, Lakewood Ampitheater, Atlanta SCCA.  Still on the OEM 225/60-15 Gatorbacks at this point since it was about 6 weeks old.

I started autocrossing at the Lakewood Amphitheatre in 1992 with my Sentra SE-R.
