just wondering if anyone on here in va does auto x. im trying to get into it a lil more and just whated to see who when where that kinda crap!!! anyways lemme know. Ill be heading to verona co. in june if anyones gonna be over there...

 

Yeah man...I was just about to start a thread on this...So where do you stay @...Down here in the hampton roads area we have the http://www.tidewatersportscarclub.co...tpage&Itemid=1 I myself will be attending the June 10th event, this will be my first auto X & looking hella 4ward to it. I don't know of any other Auto x events down here but if able definately check this out.

 

yea ill def. have to stop down there sometime. im heading to verona on the 9th and staying the night there, im just gonna get a hotel, and ill leave there on the 10th. brr-scca.org i think thats the right site ill have to check on that, but anyways, they are having a rookie class with instructors and all so i figured i would do that one that weekend. i have done auto x before but i want to take the course to learn a lil more. i love it!! i would say come check this one out but you have yours that weekend! good luck!

 

If you are near DC, then there are monthly autox's held at FedEx field. SCCA is the sponsor. You can find out more at http://solo.wdcr-scca.org/

 

Yeah thats cool man...They also have the NASA for our region here http://www.nasaracing.net/ I wanna break myself in and do a few local events before I branch out to SCCA or NASA pretty damn competitive I hear...Good luck to you to bruh, hope to see you on the track someday

 

ok so i just went to reg. for the one i wanted to go and its full. grrr apparently i waited just a lil to late.

 

Uhhmm quick question Bottoms..are you male or female???

 

female

 

oh ok wasn't sure, my fault calling you man

yeah noticed dawn and was like thinking to myself ::this better be a female::

 

Dawn, don't be intimadated by SCCA. Yeah, the boys are hard core, (in fact there are a couple of ladies that are just as much so) but we also have a good time with it, and the track is one of the longer in the area.

AutoX in general is a blast, especially since there are not that many places you can go all out without being concerned for cops.

Take care,
Lynn

 

Lynn...

Yea I used to go with my ex all the time with his evo. He took me in my car about a month or so ago in Fredrick MD. I loved it!! It was the first time I got to drive. I know Im gonna be addicted soon! Oh and I dont like stupid boys intimadate me hahaha jk. Yea Ive seen some ppl get pretty serious about it but still have a blast doing it! But anyways, yea starting off on my own and very excited!!! Do you autox?

 

Yes, but only go so far - haven't let hubby buy r-type tires and different wheels just for autocross. I did let him put in a different rear strut bar and change the alignment - +1 for the alignment, still not sure about the strut bar, has a tendancy to oversteer a lot more.

 

Yeah just realized I may have have screwed myself over w/some of the mods I have on my car...May have to remove some things, & learn to just drive & maneuver first, then work my way up...What all you have done to your car Dawn?...Hey they also have some kind of team challenge goin on, not to sure on the details on that but if intersted we can definately get sumtin started

 

Lynn- sounds good. Do you and your husband share the car for auto x? Thats cool if you do!! Now when you changed the alignment did you tell them to align it for auto x? I was thinking about getting my alignment done.

Derex- I haven't really done anything with mine yet. Its a 2007 and I bought it in November, so $ is a lil tight for that right now. I will add stuff to it when I graduate in December, slowly but surely!!! Everything Ive done has been cosmetic. I had graphics put on and smoked out my lights, I supposed to get the windows done soon..I slept through my last appt. haha. well i was kinda passed out and there was no waking me! haha. I also wanted to start out without any modifications to get to know the car a lil more than work my way up. A team challenge sounds interesting...yea I would like to know a lil more about that.

 

Hey Dawn check this out https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-racing-25/alignment-settings-street-track-use-43308/ plenty of Auto-X & track settings for the rx8 to be had here...I'd suggest acquiring some settings from some 8 owners who Auto-X and have the alignment shop or whoever set your car up to those specs...
