yea, let's try speedzone again... ha...maybe this time it won't rain...lol...

 

on the lighter side, autocrossing only costs $20-35 per race, but I still rarely get any takers from this forum.

 

AutoX I'm IN!!....provided there'll be an instructor too? (hopefully there won't be any uncles coming to LA this time...)
anything twisty and will not burn my clutch is good...

 

brian, is there a beginners division or a behind the wheel instructor type of thing? i definately would love to go but i dont feel confident enough to go into a autox comp. just to run over a bunch of cones and get disqualified or humilate myself...im sure alot of other people would like to take a instructors course or atleast enter in a non-experienced class.

i've never done any official AutoX events i've always went to a parking lot with some friends who have experience and they setup a cone course but even then i suck

 

The autocrosses I go to have a novice category, which groups beginners together and seperate from the regular competition, and allows them to have an instructor in their vehicle. As long as I am already done with my race for the day, I can be your instructor if you like, otherwise there are usually other experienced drivers willing to help out. Next event is Nov 2nd if anyone is interested. Check my autocross thread for more details.

Also, there are autocross schools twice a year (plus one or two more that are for women only), which is a little more expensive ($50-100) but a great way to learn the basic and intermediate skills needed to post fast times.

 

Brian,
Ryan (2002oz) and I were interested in Auto Xing I just dont want to get worked too bad when I get my turbo and they put me with Evos or Stis But Kara is the Sti killer so I guess she could teach me her mad driving skills Anywayz it's all fun so Im down to race and smoke some guys and gals. Like you were saying at the meet its all the driver and not all the car. Hit me up with some info. I know I cant make the Nov 2nd race though

 

actually you will get put with much worse than sti and evo's as you are now in the xtreme class or whatever. you will be with cars that were once road cars but any modification goes.

I will still race too but know we will get tooled

 

Hey guys... dont worry about being n00bs to autocrossing. The first time I went with Brian I didnt even have an instructor, I just drove up to the line and gave it my best shot. My first run I was like 9 seconds or so behind first place for my class. After 2 more runs I managed to cut that down to 4 seconds I think. That WHOLE day i only knocked down ONE cone...

Hey Vince, I've seen a ford escort beat the crap out of Camaroes, Corvettes, and even Porsches (sp?). It's not about how fast the car is, it's about how good the driver can handle it.

 

no autocross day! I mean, it'd be fun, but don't make it part of the monthly meet, it'd be way expensive... plus tearing up our tires.....

 

I would like a chance to autox Like chris said I have been intorested for awhile(who am I kidding I would do any kind of racing) Give us more info brian pm me anything you have I will take alook at your other thread too.
Ryan

 

i'm pretty sure brian has an auto-x thread here somewhere which has tons of info. But I think Auto-X and SCLC meets should be kept seperate, as for the next meet speedzone sounds great considering I didn't get to go last time.

 

I know someone will know what Im talking about but isnt there a place that is indoors and has faster karts than speedzone. Its a tad more expensive I think but a lot more fun. Someone help me out here.

 

Dromo 1?

 

yeah, how's dromo1? anyone ever try that place out? prices and such? i'd like to try out those faster karts.


btw i agree i think an autox would be too much for the whole club. sorry kara for cluttering up the thread with autox stuff...should've gone over to brians autox thread

 

dromo 1 is 25 a race, unless we rent out the place.

I had my bachelor party there it was a blast.
