Yeah, a few guys do. Some of the more active ones are tmelch, glagola, and BrianGT. They usually post when an event is coming up.

[Johnyboy]

Yes, it's a blast.

My wife (her car is hard to miss, as it has pink wheels) and I will be at all of these events, except for the SCCA points #10, as I like the bmwcca events better, as you get 6 runs vs. 4 runs.

Also, there is the ZoomZoomLive event, which could be considered an autocross event, which is free, where you get to drive the new miata on 4 different courses. It is on Oct 22nd and Oct 23rd. My wife and I are signed up for the 22nd at 4:45pm:

Thanks guys for the replies.

Oh thanks for the links again Brian. Speaking of the which did your wife go to the SCCA Events #9 (10/2).... I saw an STi with pink wheels there. I think I was standing in the same work station as her but not sure....

I was wondering did any members on this board go to the 10/2 autox date. I never got to thank the couple for lending me their tape. If you are on this site and reading I just wanna say thanks for lending me the masking tape. http://www.s2katlanta.com/%7Es2katl/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif

-Alan We were both at the Points #9 event. I ran in CSP in the morning and TO2 in the afternoon. She just ran AS in the morning.

I know I saw your red S out there. I was driving my ugly crx:

Oh cool! It was my first time and I didn't know what to expect... the best I did was a 50.383! Your's are in the 40's.... jeez... you are one great driver. :goodjob: I just plain out suck! :rolf:

-Alan Your times weren't bad at all for your first time! All you need is more time behind the wheel, and they will definately improve. There are a few scca novice schools, and the evolution school events at the beginning of next season, which should help out. This is my our first season, and the scca novice schools helped. We haven't done the evolution school yet, but I heard from others that it really helped them.

My wife and I are also running r-compounds, which some say are worth 2 seconds. She beat me in the morning, getting a 46.257. I got a 45.877 (44.1 was a fun with a friend driving it) in the afternoon. This was my first autocross in the CRX, and I hope to be able to improve enough to beat her at the next event with it :devil:, as she beat me at the last 3 events (2 with me driving my S, and the other her STi).

Hope to see you and other s2katlanta members out there! This is quite an addicting sport. I figure I can do 7-8 autocross events for the cost of 1 track day (not counting previously paid membership fees).

I was out at the Talladega GP track a couple of weeks ago. It was alot of fun and helped to understand the limits of the car.
