Autocross and Road Course Racing - Autocross!!!!!

I went to watch autocross today.



I think I'm going to do it next year.





That is all. [sm=burnout.gif]

How did u find the autocross? I'm lookin for one near my house. I live in the Chicago suburbs (Niles)

Yeah dude, it sucked sitting on pavement watching everyone else get to have all the fun. I'm betting we could have owned all the neons too.:D

PS. did you have a specific patch of real-estate staked out? I saw your car, and parked next to it. I prolly walked past you like 80 times, no idea who you actually are, haha.[sm=smiley25.gif]

Agent: I think she found it on a local forum, then told me about it. Try to find a local SCCA schedule, that's who put this one on.

Edit: You see that kid almost wrap the RIT formula car around that pole? That thing is mad expensive (all carbon fiber) and, hand built... I think some people would be hella pissed if he wrecked it.

autocross is sweet..i always wanted to buy a crx or sumthing like that and enter it,but there alot of money to be put into it...money i would rather spend putting into my car, one day,when i have some money to throw around

Yeah, I found it through the local forums. Go to scca.org and click on "find a region near you" at the top of the page.

I spent most of the time sitting on the ground in front of the red Xterra that was parked next to the tent. I was wearing a white t-shirt, blue pants, red and blue puma sneakers. Thought there would be more spectators there, AND more Civics, I only saw three, didn't think there would be as many S2000s as there were Civics!?

Seriously, it looked like so much fun. You're right, w e could have smoked a couple of those Neons and Focuses, I bet. ;) Next season...

I took your advice and went to the SCCA website, i found the nearest autoX spot. Its about 3hours away from my house. I would really like to find something a little closer. i think i should also befreind some1 with a decent car, as my civic wouldn't make it around the track.

Cool, maybe some of the meets will be closer to where you live.


Oh yeah... I did see the formula car nearly eat that lamppost. That was pretty close. Did you see the run where the green Del Sol spun out near the finish and then went across the line in reverse?!?! that was funny.

Damn, I was sitting next to you the whole time. HAHA, that's hilarious... you stole my spot in front of the Xtera when I went to walk around during that break. When I came back I was like wtf, that's my spot. That's funny. I was also wearing a white shirt and jeans. Well, I know who you are now.

There was some nice cars up in there though. How badass was that Jag?.. jesus. Also, I want a Mini.

That dude seriously couldn't drive. He spun it a bunch of times.

ahaha! figures!! Sorry I stole your spot (it was a good spot :))

Haha, it's cool. I was thinking about stealing someone's lawn chair... sitting on pavement blew. I'm sure you must have seen me there, I was literally sitting right next to you to your right.:)

I think I'm going to do it next year.


Wtf? Do that thing next week. That's why they have different classes- so you dont' have to run against heavily modded cars. "D" stock is what you should run I think. All they allow is an intake I believe, if that.

AuotX pwns.

Speaking of pwning... I am gonna pwn ElFreaky this Sunday Sunday Sunday at the event here.

Sounds like a good time. You should definitely give it a shot, i can say from experience that its a blast. I've yet to run my civic at one of those events, but i did a bunch when i had my jetta. Next spring i'm hoping to hit every AutoX and Track Day that i can.

Sniper, the last local event of the season is this Saturday Saturday Saturday, and I already have to work, so it's not happening. :(

Adam - yeah I know who you are now. You're the guy whose seat I stole. :D

amg (adam?) im sitting in the library and just got in trouble for your avatar. lmao :D

That's me and my Honda with my fart can muffler. Also, you can see it but that bucket on the front is full of baked beans, it's like NAWWWZ.

lmao

lol. prove it. we want vid's haha

yea MXS why have we neever seen any vidoes of you killing it on the track?!?1?:)

i really wanna get involved in AutoX but it seems liek alot of money and the closest events are like 4 -5 hours away :(

I don't have a camera mount, or a video camera. That will change this year.

It's not expensive, $20/event! Don't think I'd drive 4 hours though :eek:

i think everyone would appreciate some vid of the Civ in action :)

i wasnt really talking about the events, more of the suspension upgrades [&:] we'll see though, i atleast wanna go watch sometime
