Thanks for the complements all. I had never realized the 986 had such a slow turning radius until you pointed that out Brad. I wonder if there is a quicker steering box that will fit - maybe without power steering. Oh boy another modification.

I agree that autocross can be a great family sport / activity. I got my daughter involved when she turned 16, but it took her a few years until she could beat most of the guys. You may have a natural on your hands.

Some have said elsewhere on these boards that auto-x is boring and not as significant as track driving, but I think the talents from one are easily transferrable to the other. I autocrossed for about 7 years, went road racing for 6 years, and now I'm back to auto-x and occasional DE's.
