Check out the NEW AutocrossBlog.com
We're excited to unveil the newly rebuilt AutocrossBlog.com! Built with Astro, we're gearing up for an incredible 2025 season with fresh content and a new ride.
Welcome to the all-new AutocrossBlog.com! 🎉 After a year of running the site on Jekyll, we’ve rebuilt it from the ground up using the blazing-fast framework Astro. This move not only makes the site faster and easier to maintain but also sets us up to deliver even better content for the autocross community.
Excitement for 2025
As we turn the page to the 2025 season, there’s so much to look forward to! Expect event coverage, driver insights, and behind-the-scenes prep for what promises to be an unforgettable year in autocross. Whether you’re a seasoned driver or a curious newcomer, we’re committed to bringing you closer to the action.
Our New Ride: The 2016 Scion FR-S (SSC Prepped)
One of the most exciting changes for 2025 is our new ride: a 2016 Scion FR-S, prepped for the Solo Spec Coupe (SSC) class. This car represents everything we love about autocross—a tightly contested class with evenly matched cars, where the driver makes the difference. With its balanced chassis, precision handling, and dedicated SSC modifications, this FR-S is ready to tear up the cones.
We’re already diving into prep work and testing, fine-tuning everything from alignment to driving techniques to ensure we’re competitive from the start. Stay tuned for updates, photos, and videos as we push this car to its limits in the upcoming season.
A Fresh Start for AutocrossBlog.com
Switching to Astro has given us a chance to reimagine the site. Here’s what’s new:
- Faster Load Times: The site is optimized for speed and performance, perfect for viewing on the go.
- Enhanced Photo Galleries: Featuring high-resolution images from events and action shots of drivers.
- Streamlined Content: Easier navigation so you can quickly find event coverage, car builds, and helpful tips.
- Interactive Features: New tools and resources for autocross enthusiasts are in the works—stay tuned!
