Could this be my new hobby?
Ok, I just turned 30 and the whole car thing is just getting too mellow for me. I have been riding dirtbikes since I was like 6 and have been hill climbing with my friends for a while. I think dirtbikes are my true passion and I always wanted to do competition, but motocross isn't for me. What do you guys think about this video? This hill climb is about 1 hour from my house. Start the video at 1:10. I mean, how could this not scream pure adrenaline? From a dead stop to the top of a hill in about 12 seconds on a nitromethane fed bike with an entended swingarm that wants to throw you back down the hill...pure *****.

Agreed.
yes Autocross is boring.
Personally, I went out to the autocross expecting something spectacular, but I found it to be really boring compared to HPDE. Not only was it boring, but it was completely backwards. its odd point-to-point driving, with ridiculously early turn in and some harry lift-throttle oversteer in those chicago boxes.
And that was the good part!
The really ******* was sitting out in 95* weather as the flagger for easily 45 minutes and only driving for a total of 5 minutes. Hell, i would rather leave early and have my times DNF'd instead.
Or better yet, spend my money wisely and take it to the track! You can't dump cars as a hobby before doing a track event.
