[Shotimes] Autocross a SHO

[Ron Porter]

The key issue is that a SHO is just not competitive if you want to get
serious. To do it for fun is great. The SHO hasn't been competitive in G
Production for 10 years, and never were competitive in the prepped classes.

Don, of course the car matters.  Any given driver would get through an
autocross course faster in a Miata than they would an 85 Buick.  And it
would be a hell of a lot easier in the Miata as well.  I understand the
importance you're trying to place on driver's skill, and you're right,
it's a big factor, but let's be realistic.  The car matters quite a bit.

YES!  This is what I was waiting to hear from someone about autocross.  
The car doesn't matter.  Driver skill, at least till you get to and 
beyond the regional level is much more important than the car, tires or 
preparation.  Drive what you got and enjoy it.  Learn the basics, learn 
from the fast drivers, most will share secrets till you start beating 
them!  :)
