[DML] Re: Autocross in St. Louis the weekend of the Expo

[Rob Hook <rob_hook@xxxx>]

Mark,

I've been autocrossing for a couple years now but I've never raced the 
DeLorean. (I have an open-wheel formula car I use for the autocrosses). 
I will tell you this much, if you don't get your own class, expect to be 
beat horrendously by the 'vettes. For some reason, the SCCA classes the 
DeLorean in a street-prepared class only. So not only will you be racing 
against 'vettes, you'll be racing against modified 'vettes. I will say one 
thing...if you intend to run your car, make sure your oil is topped up. My 
DeLorean used to have an oil leak and I remember a few times when taking 
turns at far less than autocross speed, the oil pressure would drop. NOT 
a good thing to have happen!

I guess it's kinda gratifying to see the DeLorean classed with all the 
Corvettes, Panteras and Ferraris though. The DeLorean is in B Street 
Prepared (BSP). I've searched various SCCA results pages and I've never 
been able to find a DeLorean listed.

Good luck with the autocross and post a link to the results!
