Here are the forums I lurk at for autocross here in San Diego. This is where I get notification of event flyers being posted, and if you follow the links that Derrick gave, you can get to the schedule of events. I used to check that page every day to get on the Practice Day lists as they can fill up pretty quickly.

Thanks for posting that info, Derrick.

 

yeah bert thats where i found all the info too...on the solo 2 site. oh and my names spelled derek but no worries

 

Thanks for posting the pics. Yesterday was fun we gotta do it again sometime..

 

Heh. Sorry about that.

Funny thing is that my name is spelled "Burt". ;-PpPp

 

Word. Next time, though, I'm going to make sure I preview the route and get phone numbers. D'oh!

Truly, my bad. I took things for granted and hardly prepped at all.

Regardless, I had a great time. I hope to do it again and go a little harder next time.

 

haha my bad too...

 

Guys, that was a blast! Thanks for cruising out. Great pics Burt!

Yeah, next time I think I'll print up a map for everybody just in case some rogue RX-8 jacks our caravan again.

Derek and Burt, keep me updated on when you plan on Auto-crossing. I'm definitely in for the next practice day/track day.

 

thanks jon, it was an interesting weekend.

damn im jealous that looked like a sick run, and i really wanted pie....

i have been wanting to join the scca for awhile now so let me know when you all go, i just need a helmet

 

Yea Burt and Derek let me know when you are for sure going. I will try and make it I think that would be a lot of fun.. Haha Erin it's all good you'll just have to go with us next time!!

 

I sent a check in for the 11/8/08 practice at California Speedway. When I hear that I've gotten on the list for sure, I'll let you all know.

Seeing as how there's more interest, I'm gonna see about arranging childcare so I can race the 11/2/08 Championship event on Sunday. I'll post about that as well.

Bear in mind, any of you can race. These Championship events often have "X-Runs" which means you run in the X Class which has no restrictions. $30 for 3 runs, then potential fun runs after the event for a couple bucks a shot. It's all "good times"!

 

YES NEXT TIME THE PIE WILL BE MINE! oh and its Aaron not Erin, i fortunately was born with man giblets

do you still have to pay for the initial membership if you do the fun runs?

 

Haha my bad Aaron...

 

I think so, but I'm not certain. I'm pretty sure that fun runs are available only if you've participated that day.

 

Guys, are there practice runs after the championships on 11/2 or do you have to be a qualified driver or something? Do you have to sign up early?

 

If there's time after a championship event, they have "fun runs". Those are timed, but aren't recorded. With the short days of sunlight, they may not have much time, though. Also, if things go slowly over the regular day's event, they may not have enough time at all.

I'm pretty sure that fun runs are available only if you've participated that day.

 

hey guys for everybody thats interested in coming down to the stadium on sunday. im prolly gonna be down there at like 9ish(registration is 7:30 till 12:30 for those that wanna get signed up early. First car starts at 9). i heard it might rain but im gonna hope for the best. You dont need to be part of the scca before you go down there. You can buy a day pass for $15 and sign up later. you get a little coupon code so you dont have to pay another 15 when you buy the membership. Anyway hope to see some of you down there

 

Nice! Maybe I'll stop by. I've got my girl this weekend, so I can't spend the time to race. Have fun!
