IMO, in regards to the auto-x, I think it would be hella cool to see Marcus and Benny run in (I forgot what it's called) one of those races that starts like a drag and turns into identical short auto-x courses. I think, no offense Benny, Marcus may have a slight advantage in the holeshot, though. Either way, if Marcus threw on some gumballs, you'd have your hands full. I suck at auto-x. Give me 10 seconds and 2 cones and I'll mop you up. On the other hand, give me some stickies and a tight course, and my hatch may do fairly well...

Ben, you don't even want to know the shape my tires were in on the Talon. And the second event was the first day I had ever driven an EVO competatively or even for more than 10 minutes prior to that event.
 BTW - Thanks for the vote of confidence James. The averaging style race you speak of is really where the DSM shines. It can do a lot of things pretty well to make for an incredibly high average compared to most other cars. The only other place a DSM has the hands down win is in garage time!
