How much is it usually to go to an autoX event? Im thinking about $25. Is that right?

Thats about right. With SCCA (free the 1st year w/the WRX) membership is $20 here.

So it is 20$ for whole year? or per month? With that membership you get to go to unlimited scca autoX? or is there a fee for every one?

Ride Operator

Yep, $20 per event w/SCCA membership. Otherwise its $35 per event.

Not too positive on the SCCA membership cost, but I'll probably just get a points card for 2003.

I thought autoX was fun...been doing it since 1986! :) Just don't get wrapped up in it, think of it as a driving experience for you and you only, then hey, mid season you'll break into the top 4! Take advantage of people offering coaching. It helps a great deal.

Oh it's fun, and when you become competitive, it even more fun.

So far I've only watched, lol.

Definately a good time. Especially if the others in your area arrange for a bar b q get together afterwards. If anything go to a auto-x and ask somebody if you can do a ride along. Sure you'll have to wear a helmet and hold on but it will give you a good idea of what it will be like when you enter an event.

Its the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Until you become obsessed with it.

Of course auto-x is fun... Where else could you go out and drive the heck out of your car and not get arrested...
Besides, auto-xers have the comon thread of being car nuts, great people to learn from, and are usually very helpful in giving advice about how to drive.

Oh yeah, and if you're in Hawaii, those subaru nuts are a bunch of loud mouth trash talkers... Yup, we're the best!

Yea, and whatever you thought about fast cars being good, your more or less wrong. It's pretty much all driver.

Hell ya it is! Doesn't matter if you have a WRX or a 1997 Impreza Brighton, as long as you have a good suspension and AWD.

The turbo doesn't matter much, if anything it hurts you in the curves :D

Well having a powerful good handling car is helpful, but experience pays off.

Oh well, 2 out of three ain't bad...

Tires, tires, tires! Nothing makes you look like a hero more than tires that are better than the rest of your car, and nothing more a goat than ousy ones. I'd bet on a stock GM6 RS with BFG KD's over a stock WRX with RE92's on a course that didn't have long straights.
