I love british sports cars and autocross one myself, but I have to say this guy is on crack or he's competing with losers. An Elan would do well on an auto-x course, and so does a Porsche 914, but because of the totally different driving characteristics than so many other, newer cars out there competing, the Elan just isn't going to steal the show every time. Power oversteer just isn't available to these little cars, and it can come in handy working the course. I auto-x an MGB GT. Its a hog compared to the Elan, less nimble, less powerful. I can beat Neons, Cavaliers, the occasional Celica/Supra. But it really comes down to drivers. I beat an M3 once, but I don't go around saying my car can hang with an M3 because it can't, I just beat that particular driver on that particular day, it was probably his first outing. I love the Elan and itsa great car, still pretty quick today. I say you should meet him on the track some day and have him put his money where his mouth is!
