Okay guys, need some serious help over here. We're trying to get some form of auto racing on base. Whether it be autocross, drift or gymkana, however the f uck you spell it.

I know some of you are heavily into autocross and I'm wondering if you guys can hook me up with a POC. We need rules, safety, anything and everything that encompasses a successful autox event.

Thats cool man there are two sets of rules I am familiar with.
Either NASA TT point system, or SCCAs rule set for autocross.
No matter what you will probably need a timing setup so I would start with that and a pretty nice cone supply.
SCCA.com and SCCAforums should have some good info you can dig through.
If I remember they have a downloadable safety booklet and rulebook

Gonzo,

As you know there is an Auto X event every year here on Nellis AFB. Try contacting the PA office here and see where they get thier information. Having the same set up as another AFB might help the cause! Just an idea!

You still got the old suspension? One of my front struts is dead, and im sure the other is not far off. When i change out suspension, im probably going to do the bushings all around also. anyone have any suggestions or opinions on the energy suspension bushings?

I've been doing that. Just needed someone on the inside.

Not worried about cone supply just yet. We need to get the okay just to have an event and then we can figure out the logistics.

Thanks for the info.
