Finally, a Lancer owner that I can go to autocross events with,lol. Well I have autocrossed in Indianapolis and Akron Ohio. Indy might be an option for ya. ALso Route 66 has autocrosses every mouth when the weather warms up.

http://www.scca-chicago.com/solo/index.html
Thats the schedule for Rotue 66 in Joliet

http://www.scca.org/interactive/regions.html
Thats a list of all the divisions of Solo II (autocross) competition.

By the way, just thought about this since I was talking bout autocross. Any old members remember B_Tapper, and what hes up to? He always had some good input, plus autocrossed his 2.5 RS. Just rememberin past times at Evolutionm, lol. (lancerforums.com......)

 

heyyy!! I'm from the Rockford area myself, natively, and over the summer would love to get in autocross with ya guys!

edit: I remember reading once somewhere about a road course in roscoe somewhere ... don't know if I am remembering right though

 

Tristar, that's awesome info! route 66 isnt soooo far away from my area..im guessing a little over an hour. do u know if i have to go to the school before going to one of the events? im guessing u do, but i want be here March 29 or 30. ill be in japan actually..

but thanks for that info! do u autocross already or are u gonna start since i asked?

since im going to japan, i might pick up some minor parts there, maybe some super spark plug wires (the ones with caps built in for a stronger spark), or something like an intake. i hope spark plug wires won't void my warranty, if it does im not gonna buy em. what do u think?

but thanks again for that info! i'll see ya around

im in for auto-x with u guys hope iu dont mind an eclipse (lol) give me info and ill be there!!

 

i just read through the SCCA Autocross FAQ..it's really informative. here's the link if u guys wanna check it out:
http://www.sfrscca.org/solo2/faq/

it looks like i dont need to go to the driving school! but i'm not sure which events i can participate in.

Tristar, since u've gone autocrossing before, what class is a lancer in? and can we get into any event even if it's competitive? hope u reply soon!

Evoboy, yea come along with us, it'll be cool. im sure other lancer (or eclipse) owners around here will want to come too. and if u want info, just look around the scca chicago area site!
-Bob

 

No prob for all the info. No, you dont need schooling before you drive. It would be cool to get as many people together to autocross. By the way bobaab, think you could pick me up a grill since youll be in Japan?!?!? LOL

 

Tristar... I get get you anypart you want for cheaper than any other company... or site will offer it to you... I will beat or match any price on any part!!!!

 

ouu bob pick me up some OZ decals!! ok sorry, back to the topic..cool they have lady autocross hehehe i'd be stock, newbie, lady lolz

 

hehe, im planning to get stuff in japan..some universal parts for the lancer..decals..etc. i'll see what i can get but i'll ask what to get in another thread.
yea, i saw that "lady's autocrossing" too there's soooo many classes for SOLO II..but all i know is that lancers are in the HS category. just an update
-Bob

 

Omni, what kind of parts are you talking about? And how ya gots the hookup???

 

hey Tristar, autocrossing doesnt void warranty right? cause i read somewhere that it could..im confused
-Bob

 

I guess you could say hitting a pot hole can void your warrenty. Yes, autocrossing can void your warrenty, because I guess a dealer could consider it racing. But whos going to ever find out? I never worried about it.....

 

any parts you need..... !!
My friend has his own perfomance company called RaceEngineering
He almost has his site hooked up... but whatever you need... he/me can get it for you... Hell if you ever make a meet.. that could save you shipping and handling fees... I can bring it to you... All I would want from ya' is a thankz !!

 

Thanks a bunch. Im gonna create a list, and you can give it to him and he can see what he can do. Thanks again....Go MLC!
