On April 25th there will be a CCR-SCCA Autocross @ Knights Stadium? in Ft. Mill, SC if you guys would like to maybe have a meet there ?

Here's the link for the website. Registration isnt up yet but it should be soon.

Instead of just hanging out at a parking lot or driving, we can all auto-x!
There's always 4 evo's at every event. How about some more come out and throw your steering wheel around at an auto-x ?
Helmets are provided if you do not have your own.

 

but i don't have an evo, all i have is a slow stock oz : (

 

Speed isnt everything at autocrosses. I would say its mainly the driver.Come on by anyways. You're guaranteed to have a good time watching/racing!

 

huh this is funny, i think i work with someone who does this. her name is sarah white and she drives the mg. she not here today, but i want to get some more info on this. wouldnt mind trying it out. it cant hurt can it? wouldnt mind trying to race, i can just think of it like go karting in my car

 

i talked to the girl at work and that was her. i should be going, wouldnt mind trying the track and i have never done anything like this so it should be fun.

 

hey fiesty u should really do this. i went for my first time last month and had a blast. and like they said its not all about speed, the driver has alot to do w/ how the car dose. just my 2c.

 

ok k i am gonna do it! gonna try to go shopping for my car!

 

Cesar,
Count me in! I'm definitely going. What time should I meet you in Columbia? I live in Newberry so it will take me about 20-30 mins to get there. It'll be cool having a EVO caravan going up there.

Andrew,

Sounds good dude. We're going to head up on Saturday the 24th for the test and tune day. I need to try out some settings with the perrin adj. rear sway. I would recommend to attend this so you can get some practice before the actual autocross the next day. (You can only get better by practicing over and over...)

If you're game for both days, we'll be leaving sometime around 730am Saturday to head up to Charlotte. PM me for more details about a meeting spot. We'll also be staying the night in Charlotte.

If anyone else is from Columbia or nearby and interested in going, drop a line here or a PM!

-Cesar

 

UPDATE:

The autocross at Knights Stadium this weekend is cancelled.

However, there are two other autocross events this same weekend. Getting more details on them both to see which one will be best to attend. I'll keep those of you who are interested updated.

 

I know I just found out, that sux. I was looking forward to it. Its all good though, by the time another comes around I'll have more mods on my ride! Plus I gotta write papers on workplace violence and the causes of the recession in the US. I can't wait. JK. Can't wait till I'm done with grad school. If anyone knows the answer to either of these let me know so I can save some time!!

 

Found an autocross to go to on the 24th of April. It'll be in asheville, NC. Here is the link for the site

This one should be a very good auto-x for beginners to attend. As it seems as if the 24th is going to be a novice/advance auto-x school.

It'll be all day and night as well from the looks of up. Definitely one to go to!

 

i just pmed you cesar. that sucks that it got cancelled. still wanna try this autocross stuff out so please just let me know when and where. i am in charlotte so nothing is too far. me and my beginner status and stock car. this will give me a good idea of where i am at and what i need done! well let me know

 

autox is my next favorite to rally, its usually held on pavement, they'll setup cones and people race for the fastest times, hit a cone, theres a 1-2 second penalty

its really fun but its all in the driver, and when you get into it you'll do it over and over just to beat your own time. like on racing games

i always do it at least 50 times to get another .5 second off

i'll try to make it

 

i am nervous/excited now...i have never done anything like this before...is there anyway to practice for it??
