Makes me think.Solo is such a nice pastime. Would hate to lose all the history I have seen . Or J-bird, or Russ, Or another thousand members. I laughingly refer to "the meuseum"That holds several old auto-x cars. Anyone else even remotely interested in five decades of solo history?
How do I share?
Does anyone care?

 ;D   I for one would love to see some old photos, I started back autox'n the first of last year, but entered several about 25 years ago in a 73 Firebird Formula, Yellow, with American 200S's on it. I remember Brian Gause in his 74 Z/28 at Eastridge mall in Gastonia,...when it had a 79-80 Trans-Am hood scoop, and I think one of the first sets of Comp T/A's around, after he made a run, everyone watching applauded, never seen that before. I heard this story while we were at Lowes, if anybody knows Sam Moore, he races an old Volvo, He had entered one autocross back in the 60's when they ran on the streets of up/downtown Charlotte in a '68 Mustang, one of the turns was so tight, he had to back up to get around it. He said that was his first and last autox,...(his loss) Lets hear some more old war stories!!

The days of John Hannah and his blindingly quick 280Z, Jim Weathers and the GREEN Pontiac Tempest, John Byrd and the bootleg turn at West Meck High(Damn you, John) The Monte Carlo who hit 18 cones and a light pole base at that same Eastridge Mall auto-x, (it was his Mom's Monte), Earl Elliot and the 360 degree power slide at Carowinds in his Z-28 Camaro. And me, who managed to win 2 events in 1977 in a 1973 Mercury Comet, in F-stock, with a 6 cylinder, against that same Brian Gause and finished 3rd in the points behind Barry Davis in a slick '66 Mustang GT convertible, and the aforementioned Brian. Then I bought a Fiesta...
