Autocross this weekend

***UPDATED 25OCT12***

Figured since we have a thread for reoccurring meets, events, and Sac Raceway, we should make one for Autocross events. I go to most local events and barely ever see any Subis out there so i figured by sharing event information we might see a bigger Subi turn out at the local AutoX events.

Hosting Club:
- SCCA SFR Chapter
Date of Event:
- 27, October 2012 (~730AM - 330PM)
Location:
- Marina Municipal Airport
Cost:
- $35.00
General Information:
- Snell Approved Helmet required (loaners available)

Information/Register here:
Autocross Information Here

I should be there and hope to see some of you out there.

Will

Great day out at the AutoX. Definitely impressed with the PCA, very well ran event. Car did great, driver needs work lol! Actually did really good and was pretty proud of myself. Anyway onto some pictures and a quick video of one of my runs.

This was the course:

The course and the grid. It was all concrete, smooth, and amazing; what an awesome surface to race on. It was also HUGE, i believe they said it was 800'x600'.

Each run group was lined up on the grid, no moving 10 feet then stopping, waiting in line to run. The flagger would pull you out of your stall and you would have to wait maybe a minute to run. Definitely helped with my heat soak.

I love this new autox site. Even with worn out slick, the car did great. If I remember correctly the next event is on Oct 21 on the same site.

Great turn out! The site is awesome! Yes the next one is on the 21st of October. There is an AAS event this coming saturday at Marina but im not sure if my car will be ready in time or if i want to drive that far. There is a Corvette Club event in Rio Vista on the 6th of October, trying to track down details, supposed to be pretty cool.

By the way, you are a great driver!!! I love the fact that your Civic hatch back on worn out slicks was running 50s and a new Z06 on slicks was running 49s. again great driving man, i need to get some pointers from you next time we are out there together.

Thanks. Best time I got was a 50.6xxx but didn't get that on video. GoPro battery was dead. Guess that what happen when you forget to charge the night before.

This video of my second best run 50.789 from the morning 2nd run. It was hard to drive on worn out slicks. I'm gonna try and make the 10/21 event with new tires.
