Hmmm,this is very tempting. I will try to do what I can though,between my brother(8th grade) and sister's(High School) graduating,my cruise to Mexico and Summer School starting up I will pretty busy in the next month or two. What are the dates and what do I have to bring/do to be able to attend these events?

Glad you guys/gals are having fun. This is what these cars are made for. I couldn't go this week... life got in the way. I am getting an itchy right foot just thinking about it. Time for a little canyon carving.

blink..here's the date for the next 2 AX that Im going to, Jun 10 @ altamont Speedway (sun) & June 16 @ Candlestick (Sat.) . What i brought with me is a coooler with m lunch and lot's of water, sunblock, chapstick and folding chair plus $30 for PCA member..not sure how much for non-pca.

I have a total of 10 runs and for $30..it's worth it

dude, my car is bone stock and I made it and I had a blast

.

I was in the second group, so while our group are waiting, we have an assigned location to call in how many pylon/cones got knocked out by the car (1 cone/pylon= 1 second to their time)...

Looks like you had a lot of fun-- How did the tires hold out?

A cone is only one second for you guys?!

Dang... it's 2 seconds for us.

I can't really comment on the tires coz' im new to AX but on the street, it'a making noises compare to my Kumho before. I only spun out once during the last turn

986girl...now i know what's apex is..i kinda have an idea but during the AX, everything i read in this forum about it starting to make sense

Once again, tnx for your write up on the past thread

and yah, 1 cone = 1 seconds to your time

You are very very welcome! I love autocross soooo much, so anything I can do to help other people enjoy the addiction is worth it!

And don't feel bad about spinning...I did it like 5-6 times before I finally learned where the limit was between pushing it and spinning
