Interesting post as I participated in my first Auto-X last sunday. There is really nothing better to learn to control our beasts.

As for driving on the streets I am in agreement with people who drive defensively. Yeah, even I get on the gas every once in a while when I have an open road. But when others are sharing the road with you not only are other lives at stake but you never KNOW what the other guy is going to do that may lead to an fatal accident.

In Miami no one seems to know how to use a turn signal or a mirror so unexpected lane changes are always a danger. Or the "Oops I'm about to miss my exit let me shoot across 4 lanes of traffic doing 75 MPH" syndrome.

What i posted on the NASIOC forums



Well i am a new memeber to your forum and ive know about this for alil bit and this is the first post ive seen and i just wanted to send my deepest condolences to the family. I knew justin we lived in the same town and talked cars a couple times and i remeber seeing him with his wrx wene he first got it, a smile on his face that you couldnt erase with anything. He proceeded to see my new car also and thats wene i knew we shared some simular interest. i always wanted to go driving with him sometime and im in morn this will never happen. we were never really friends just people who ran into each other often and used to work togther. I hope that he is off to a better place and i know if i was to ever die i would want to do it doing something i love. so to justin rest in peace , Adam Milnes
