AutoX Meets Season of 2009

PLEASE READ!!!
I am trying to get this ball rolling. Alot of dead meets lately and not alot of activity.
Please Note the events that are in WV are about 20 minutes away from my house. I am willing to have my house as a meet point and setup a nice caravan with everyone before we head out to the track for every WV Event.
We could do a BBQ, So long as everyone pitches in for things we could have a nice decent pre-BBQ track meet every WV event as well.

To those who don't know what autocross is, you can read the link below to find out about it. It's basically where a club takes a huge parking lot and turns it into a track.
Capital Driving Club
Summit Point raceway just opened up an autocross track, and it looks like it's going to be freakin amazing. Here's a drawing someone made comparing the different venues we race at:

Here's the list of events for Capital Driving Club this year, which is the club I go with. Registration for the events opens a few weeks before, and if you want to sign up put that you are a guest of Tom Layton. For non-members it is $35 for 6 runs.

OMG I just realized where all my free weekends are going this summer! Thanks a ton for the info man. I will try to get Jibbz2 (David) involved as well, so we can represent the panhandle Fits... Any Nova guys up for it can also meet at my place in Inwood WV about ten minutes from Summit Point.

Just got home from the Summit Point autox today. Awesome. Nice track, too bad it was covered with a fine dirt/dust, that really hampered traction for the AM runs.

I put down some good times, and I had fun. Mission accomplished.
