Default autocross

Has anyone tried or know anyone who has done AutoCross
with there ES ?

i know you might think a FWD Sedan and AutoCross doesn't sound proper or is someone really thinking about this ?

i have know people who used to do it with Cadillac Seville STS SLS and Deville DTS models

i know that i have thought a few times about it when i owned one but decided i just didn't want to chance taking the Cadillac with 240k on it and most original parts that where still going good and putting so much stress on it

but tonight just for the hell of it when driving behind the movie theatrew near the local shopping center that has some crazy parking out back
i decided to drive threw when it was empty and it handled really good

so im wondering if anyone has any input on what they think about this
and if anyone has ever tried it here ?

thank you

Handling certainly isn't one of the ES350's strengths so auto cross seems like it might be a waste of time. Probably why you never hear of anyone doing it.

I just watched a youtube video but it was a newer ES model from what i gathered
oh well ill look into it more
i know i miss my Cadillac because of how it handled

i guess maybe i noticed that my car today was handling better since the new struts and steering components where replaced recently but never really got into trying to get up on it till today just for a-bit

id still like to possibly go out and have some fun
and try it
but maybe ill go see if there is anywhere that does autocross that also rents out or schools for it tha thave vehicles to use
