Auto-x do not cancel not matter what the weather, look a the bright side you get to practice your four wheel drifts just bring good rain/snow gear.

We run rain or shine. Bring rain gear or at least an umbrella. Also, make sure you clean out your cars beforehand. You don't want any loose stuff flying around the car when you're on course. The less stuff you have to take out of your car on site the better.

Here's are some good info links for what to expect.

Actually BSCC cancelled an autoX a few years ago due to snow.

It was good to see everyone that showed up for this. It was a little wet but that's why we have all wheel drive! Thumbs up to Demian for getting this thread going. Hopefully everyone had a good time and I'll keep seeing more Evos at these events. Plenty of opportunities to get your motorsports fix around here.

That's a great pic of the Millers Battle Sedan, the reflection of the blue tarp almost makes it look like he's got underbody lighting. Made me do a double take and go WTF?

Congrats to Minh for winning class on Sunday, nice driving!

Awesome to see so many evo's out there, if your interested in doing some more autocross Bremerton "BSCC" will be hosting event #2 on 4/17 and a autocross practice on 4/15. If you go to the practice day, bring a full tank of gas you will most likely get in 20 plus runs. Thanks for posting up the great pics Derek, my co-driver George already linked his to Volvospeed.

Thanks for posting up the pictures guys!

I heard from a buddy who was racing there with you guys, this is what he said (unedited)

"By the way,

Saw a bunch of EVO guys out at Shelton this weekend for the Slush Series event #3. I heard Minh Nguyen posted on the local EVO forums. I think about 7 of them showed up. Most of them need to learn to drive better as I beat 5 of them with my stock Miata with my scratch time alone (not even taking in to account an Index). But they did have some nice looking cars! (I think almost all of them were grey or black). Though there was one red and one yellow."


Seriously guys? You lost to a stock Miata????

Wasn't Sunday a semi-wet day in the morning with sun coming out in the afternoon up there? You definitely cant compare any times from Sunday (especially down here in Portland) unless they also ran in the same group.

I ran in a lake and got killed, fell back to 20/100 when I'm normally ~5/100. The afternoon all got several seconds faster with our super tight course.
