...seriously, tho-- here our local club, the EESCC -Emerald Empire Sports Car Club-- has an 'unofficial' class for Sport Truck...otherwise I'd have to try to sneak it into CSP, based on the header... the cool thing about Sport Truck is it's wide open for mods! Had I known ballast was also legal, that full-size 4-plus litre Dodge w./ the LSD and 300 lbs of sand in his bed wouldn't have beat me by less than a second! My biggest issue: keeping the back connected and not over-driving the tight course--2nd gear all the way!!! Next time, I'll be slightly more prepared...right now I'm still running in un(derp)-repaired class...
That sounds like a lot of funn :)

If you've never tried it...
...watch out, it could be addictive! Be very easy if one has the funds to just go nuts and build a great autocross REPU or other oldschool rotary car... Your rx-2 could be made quite competitive... but so much of it is driver technique and experience! I'm a bit of a maniac myself... not in terms of being equipped, but it's hard to control myself--I like to let 'er rip! That tends to bring the back end out... It's also a real bitch when you can't get the front to do what you need in time for another tight turn 'cause you were charging like mad a split second longer than you should've... and then there's rounding a turn and finding yourself in a 'sea of cones', the course unclear... can be a bit of a challenge! But fun--hell yeah! Also a good (and legal!) way to find out the limits of yourself and your vehicle at relatively low speed... generally, not too many folks top 50 or 60 in an autocross... at least not that I've seen.
