Congrats. Looks like you have plenty of time to break it in before the Team Challenge on the 30th :D

 

whats the team challenge?

 

Like the BMW Auto-x on the 24th? :p

The Team Challenge is a special event auto-x put on by the New England Region of the SCCA, held at Ft. Devens in Ayer, MA. Since the points battle is over for the year, we all form teams of 4 and the team with the total best finishing positions, wins the team challenge. There are things like 'Best Team Name' and 'Best Team Costume' etc... It's a fun day of auto-xing (as they all are) but this just adds another element to it.

Thing is, there's going to be no novice class at this event since it's the last of the year... everyone should be pretty familiar with how an auto-x works. BUt that's not to say that novices aren't welcome... becuase they are. It's still just an auto-x... but might have a bit less instructors around... becuase this is the last time we see each other at an auto-x until ... April. Yuk.

That's it in a nutshell.

Hmmz , I'd come , but I think its too far away , ayer... never heard of it lol, it's out west huh ?

 

It's north of Worcester/Framingham.

495N to Rt 2W area.

 

Hmmmmz, do I need a SCCA liscense or w/e to race ?

 

Nice! It is about time.

So what are you doing with the Subie?

 

Nope, but you'll get a $5 discount if you have one. The license costs like $60 or $80 (correct me if I'm wrong). But since Imp here was a Subaru owner, he probably got one for free from Subaru. Here are some light reading: D
