anyone interested in going?

Yes.

 

count me and my brother in email me if we have to pre register

 

haha I was just at bamboozle fest at the meadowlands and I was thinking to myself man this parking lot would be AWESOME for a drift event. I won't be able to make it, but it sounds awesome!

 

So whose going? Is it just autox or a drift event too? If both I'll bring an extra set of tires for the rear

 

i'm going. this is autocross. no drifting. they will kick a person off for reckless driving.

please pre-register by sending michael an email:

Ill prob go and watch. Its literally like 4 minutes from my house.

 

Cool, I'll be there. Registered yesterday.

This will be my first auto-x though, so be nice.

I'll be there in a slightly banged up red S4, gunmetal wheels.

EDIT: How much does it cost, by the way?

 

cool.
i think its $30 for members, and $40 for non-members.
but its worth it to become a member because it costs $30 for membership.
with membership, you get 1 year subscription to Grassroots Motorsports magazine which totally rocks. and of course you save $10 per event as a member, so it pays for itself in 3 events. really it pays for itself in two more events after your first one as a member.

instructors are free so take one with you for your first session. get there early and walk the course. get there at 8am. bring sunscreen, chairs, cooler with food, snacks and drink. pump up air in front tires to like 40 lbs. empty your car of all junk. make sure your battery is securely tied down.

know your class before you arrive:

sandro is bringing his red FD, and so is mike (1revin7) and mike's brother has a second gen i think and he's going. so that is 5 right there. not bad. and way more fun than a car show

 

ABS? I don't think I've ever had a car that had it :P.

Cool, glad to see more 7's are going.

See you guys tomorrow!

james - red FC
paris - red FD

i'll put up pics and vid tonight for all the wall flowers to see.

 

I just took a look at the classing spreadsheet. Did Mclub always make catless cars racing class? Seems new to me. hope yall had fun.

 

its new this year but i think we're gonna change it so that it doesn't matter.
i don't think off road pipe(s) give enough of a gain to warrant that drastic a move.

 

That was a blast!!

I can't wait to do it again.

Thanks again for all the help today Scott.

Nice meeting all of you, Mike and Dan and Scott.

Good times!!

James

http://www.motorsportsne.com/2006/re...AX05282006.htm

but they put me in class A by accident (that was my class last year), so i really came in 4th in class U.

 

scott i just read the results,i did better than i thought with street tires.im going to start looking for some race sneakers for my ride.how much time does slicks take off your time?

 

yeah you did really great and your brother was right next to you.
R compounds take off between 1-2 seconds, depending on the course layout.
but you should do a few more autocrosses with your street tires because often, R compounds hide mistakes. you learn a lot more on street tires.
there is another autocross this sunday in bridgewater. you coming ?
