Devens Autocross events comming up.
There are a few events coming up and a few drivers may be needed to fill up the events. Very long (usually over 2 min) courses and fast and easy to read. They use both runways down to the very last connector too. Other thing is that you do not need to be a member to run, just arrive and drive. One of the last runs with these guys got us 11 runs in. Free pizza for lunch too. Ride alongs are also allowed, although I don't think they will allow 4 people in a car.
PM if interested.
Edit
These events are in Ayer, Ma and run all day. The BMW Test and Tune attendees will like these events for sure.

Just another note.
These events may be a bit more difficult for any driver who has NEVER done autocross. While they do have instructors, they do NOT all allow a course walk. Instead, they put two people in a car, more experienced one driving, and you drive the course at 5mph. I found this to be very helpfull. They find that it saves a ton of time. Less time=more runs.

Awallright! Note that some events require a Snell SA rated helmet. M rated helmets will be rejected. If you do not have an SA helmet then tell them you will use one of their loaners, and keep your own helmet hidden in your pit area. That's what I did, and I used my own helmet when I ran. This may not work if ten of you try this. Bell has a fairly nice SA helmet that is also open faced. Open faced helmets are best for autocross because you need all the vision you can get. They are also a bit cooler in the summer. I now have an SA2005 helmet. No, you cannot borrow it and move it car to car for the inspection.

considering the speed of the course, and the level of drivers at this event - you'd be much better off at a test and tune event. they are an awesome way to learn auto-x and the limits of your car. I know i'll be a regular at the test and tune events until i start driving more competitively.

I just got this off of a Miata autocross forum. Scruffy AKA Mussel Kar. I need to play the lottery.
Oh yeah, Mussel Karr, I saw your green Porsche hit a cone which flipped through the air and landed in the box safely at corner 4. The first time I've ever seen that....awesome!

Hahah! That just means you're an expert, right?
I saw someone flip a cone at a T&T day...it landed upright but nowhere near the box!
