2011 AutoX Season Opener This Weekend

http://www.sfr-solo.org/solo2/Result...nd01_info.html

Round 1 is at Great America Parkway in Santa Clara this Sunday. The usual i-clubbers will be there and any noobs are more than welcome to come and give it a try..we can hook you up with your tire pressures, numbers, class etc...just bring your license...I'm car 717, WRB WRX in the STX class.

It's a great way to learn how to put your car on the limit...slightly overstep the limit..then gather it back in before it all goes wrong...(took me a while to learn how not to completely spin out when things get squirly)...worst case scenario is that you hit a few cones...a lot safer place to drive on the limit than roads and a lot of fun and very addicting...

I definitely agree with you Glen! I have something planned that day, so I just plan to stop by in the morning to watch and talk to the usual people. What run group is STX?

SCCA, as well as other autox groups, always welcome spectators. If you can't make it to this one then don't worry; there'll be more coming up.

Hey Glen, do you know if Adrian will be coming out too? Also, expect me to be doing a few SCCA events starting next month.
