my 1st autoX...loved it

[986 Girl]

Locally we have an "abandoned" airstrip that we get to use a lot, giving us courses that can be upwards of 70-80 seconds for FTD. In fact, the SCCA ProSolo is using the site for one of this events (Seneca Army Depot).

Oh, and I say "abandoned" because I swear I see new landing marks there every so often.

Im turned off my tracks like that, no embankments, not edges painted on the track pavement, just cones... set really far apart no less!

The track day i had at Fontana Speedway was AWESOME compaired to parking lot tracks. Do you have any realllll tracks out there?

Maybe I'm confused by what you are saying, but the link that djlomas posted is an autocross, which is what we're all talking about.

Ahh ok, i just got the terminology mixed up. So autocross is like a parking lot track and track day is... well a real track course, right??? or am i still wrong?

That's long. I'm assuming you don't get as many attendees, though?



Over here, we have had up to 134 registered drivers... maybe that's why they make the runs shorter.



That and some of the organizations don't make efficient use of the parking lots.



I'd like to check one of the events out at Rochester.

Events out at Seneca (it's about a 45 minute drive from Rochester) typically don't see as many participants as our closer events (one of our locations is on a college campus, so we get a lot of students). Because the course is so long we can typically have 3-4 cars on course without any safety issues, so we can crank through runs pretty fast. I typically see 4-6 runs out there.

You should come out to one of our events! I'd love to have another Box participate (it can get kindda lonely with all the s2ks and Evos.... and then me).

Here's the pdf from one of our last events last year out there:

I took second in Novice with a whooping 82.89, hehe.

You're looking at overall Novice results are on page 5.

And yes, Tina is my hero.
