Title: AutoX
Post by: VW Scully on January 20, 2007, 04:54:50 pm

So hey guys;
Who here does Auto-cross with their Diesels?
I'm thinking of gettng back into it and would like to buy another Rabbit to use for said purpose  :) .

However, my friend says "you can't AutoX a Diesel!"
Bah; what does he know?  :wink:  so I want to show him up.
Anyone here do it?

Well, the search is on for a race Rabbit for me anyway and then I'll show him how it's done  :D :wink:

I would like to know where some Autocross events are in Ontario as well.  I finally got my 1995 Golf 1.9 up and running, and I would love to run it in Autocross.

Oh well then! :D Your first thing should be to join WOSCA; they are the ones who hosted the Events that I attended and they were fun, informative and welcoming :).
They also have a forum like this (although I haven't been on much lately since I currently have no AutoX car!  :oops:  ).

Anyway, here's a link:

Hopefully I will have something soon to race this year!  :wink:

i'd like to get into with my jetta this summer, fspgtd does alot of racing, and gets alot of attention, i hope to do the same.  i'm a little concerned as to what class i would be in since my jetta doesn't have the stock motor since it's an 81 and i switched it to a turbo diesel(only made td's in 83 and 84), and my boost control device is modefied. well not really but kinda lol, i'm afraid i'll be a tough class to compete in.

"you can't AutoX a Diesel!"


I drove my Diesel Rabbit in a Evolution Driving School.  I usually drive a Corvette.  I would use the rabbit but the handicap  is not kind to a N/A Diesel.  I am aware of one guy in the Portland area that AutoX 's a diesel.

you are talking to the waterfest 2000  3rd place winner in the dsp class
it was with my old truck,and it was raining,and i had truck tires too
and it was "just a 1.6td"
theres a video out there somewhere of it.....
diesels should clean up in tight courses especially,because the torque is always there
