While I hope it doesn't sound like I am tooting my own horn but I guess I should point out that I have two ProSolo national championships (1999 in P5 and 2005 in HS) and usually can run right with either of them when we're driving the same car. In 2004 and 2005 I used to be able to run with and even beat them now and then with my old HS Audi 90 Quattro (yes even in the dry) so getting pasted in the GXP is not what I am looking for.

That said I'm not ready to put the GXP on Auto Trader just yet, thus my post looking for the collective wisdom as what will help and what people think of it's autox potential. If it doesn't work out, fine, I'll sell it and buy a Z0K, but for now I'd rather concentrate on trying to make the GXP work.

As for the Evo schools I am a big fan. I was a perennial also-ran at Nationals with lots of double-digit finishes until I took the Evo (then McKamey) school back in '98. It was quite an eye-opener to see what Tom Kotzian could do in my car and I guess it helped a bit given that I was 3rd that year in BS at Nationals and won my first ProSolo championship the following year, proof that even slow dogs can be taught new tricks :-).
