You can autocross anything that'll pass tech... automatic sedans included... now, being compeditive will be another matter. If you're looking to get started and have fun, go for it.

There is a local autocrosser with an automatic 89? Jetta running in a Street Prepared class who regularly beats all kinds of supposedly faster cars. He's the textbook example of "its not what you drive but how well you drive it."

I agree with what's been said above... go have fun with your car.

Don't the Kozlak's beat a bunch of people in a mid-80s auto IROC?

Yep, Bill Thomas drives his automatic late 80s Jetta reeeeallly fast locally. good example of what a past national champion can do in something that's not "fast".

B) The Kozlak's IROC-Z is automatic... it does however help to be able to drive like they do, and have the setup knowledge gained over the years of running that car I believe Lynne (sp?) 0wned F Stock this weekend.
