Cool Camry Cousin hitting the autocross. Inspired?

You don't have to have a "performance" car to enjoy the autocross track.
Here's our Camry cousin N35QU!K having a good time at a recent autocross.

If you've got video or pics of your ES at the track, post 'em up.
If you don't, hopefully this video will inspire you to go try.

Nope.
Try an autocross, brothers. I promise it will be an entertaining and educational experience, irrespective of your transmission shifting method.
(And get pics - right Lexucan? We loves us some ES pics)

auto cross is not so hot with automatic unless you can/will shift it

I'll take our ES to Texas World Speedway next semester and get pictures.

For an autocross, just put the transmission in low (1) and go for it. I guarantee you won't be going faster than that if you're not getting DNF's.
