Re: Can i run my Jeep GC SRT8 in an autocross event?

Donny - just get a cheap Miata and come have some fun. It will be way quicker than the Jeep anyway :) Might cost less than a set of tires for the jeep too. Seriously, the white miata with peeling hood paint at the SpeedVentures event cost $750. Jay W Jayson would this be the one with the hello kitt...

Re: Can i run my Jeep GC SRT8 in an autocross event?

Just wanted to bump this thread is there any updates on the possibility of the Jeep srt8 being classed? I ran my Jeep at a speed ventures event this weekend as my only option and the jeep did fantastic. I drove by and even stopped at the SCCA Solo course and it was much bigger it would have been nic...

Re: Can i run my Jeep GC SRT8 in an autocross event?

I road along in an GC SRT8 with Sam Moses, who's a club racer, on the big track at Willow Springs. The truck is quite stable for what it is. One reason it handles better than the Lightning is that it doesn't have buggy springs in the back. Stiff unit body + lowering + IRS. :thumbup: Exactly my thou...

Re: Can i run my Jeep GC SRT8 in an autocross event?

Also there are specific exceptions, GMC Syclone is awd and classed, like the subi. In the case of the SRT8 a number of letters were sent in asking for it to be classed, and was...

Re: The New guy from Kansas

i dont know if i want to race on my current 3 piece wheels and beat them up. I've never gotten any curb rash while autocrossing. :thumbup: Well I have.
