Nice. Don't need a transponder. They have a laser that trips when you start and end the course. You see your time on the display that is mounted on top of or next to someone's van/truck/SUV. You then have to remember and/or write down your time on your own... it's really informal. You don't have to work the course and you can make many runs. That is the good part. The course is pretty short/tight tho...

A year or two ago, it was free entrance.

Registered for the auto-x. That's right, I dodge pylons with a rotor truck.

I'll probably be there with my FC. Looks like the registration hasn't opened yet. Thanks for the heads up.

Is there anyway to get a drift session? But autoclub speedway won't allow that type of driving even if the event says it's cool right?

Do it, and when they ask, just say you have traction issues

Lol the Mazdatrix drivers were "losing traction" last year (purple drift FC). There's no way that thing will stick in the rear.

I'm currently toying with the idea of trying out autocross, as a complete and total newb to driving in an organized event.

Don't know the first thing about autocross except that everyone says it's a lot of fun, and it's unlikely to mung up your car unless you're careless. Anyone care to advise me? It's not like a stock SA is going to be 'competitive,' I'd just be in it for the lulz.

Is it possible to do autocross and enter the car show?

Or would the auto-x have the car out thrashing when judging should be going on?

No worries. Just run with the beginners group and don't drift past anyone around a corner. It's never caused a problem in the past.

I've been pushing for a Laguna Seca Mazfest for years. ALMOST got it this time, too.

I don't think it's possible to do both The auto-x is a good introduction for ya, although running in a beginner's group out on the big course is not a bad thing either.
