AUTOCROSS INFORMATION THREAD!
I believe Race City will be starting up the Secret Street events starting Friday May 2nd. (Unconfirmed)
Cost is 25$ for an evening, add 5$ to rent a helmet. Generally you get lots of seat time on the Autocross events and the option of getting at least a couple of runs at the drag stip (If you dare
) is also included.
The overall impression I got from this event when I particiapted last year is most poeple coming down to have a good time. Everything from Neons to Fits to STI's show up. I had a great time when I went, my little Fit posted some very reasonable times and I met lots of new people. A lot of people were saying the the Fit was one of the most capable cars on the autocross track.
Participants are pretty supportive and if you have never taken part in this kind of event the Race City staff do a good job of running through the basics with you and there is lots of encouragement for new drivers.
Basically you have any desire to put your foot down on the gas and see what you car can really do without the law pulling you over this is a great way to get out and do it both legally and more importantly, safely.
