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.

 

I have been attending almost every Friday for the last 3 years and I really enjoy it.

It gives people a chance to see what their cars can do in a safe and legal environment. It is generally decently organized and really cheap for what you get out of it.

It's also a great place to talk to other gearheads!

 

I'll be going down for autox and the strip at the end of May

 

You probably know the string to pull for info then Any chance you could confirm when they are starting up and if Autocross is offered right off the bat? The web site is a little vague on details.

 

The only way to get real info is to call and some rumors went around that auto x would be closed for the entire season this year so I'm not sure.

We need to set something up where we'll all show up and do a bit of autox and drags on the same night.

My LX will beat all your sports because it weighs less lol

 

No way, my sport trim kit is going to give me the aerodynamic advantage!

 

Getting sponsored by Falken, should have some RT-615's by track day Man i love selling tires.

ET, i gots us a banner for our shop

 

Noooiiiicccceeeeeeeeeee

 

do they sell 615's in 14's? lol

 

Damn, those are mean looking tires!! I saw them under the motorsports area on the website.... are they legal for street use?

Falken Tire

Looks like they do sell them in one size for 14" tires, a 195/60/R14

Now if only they sold them in 195/40/R17

 

Nice! Dood get me sponsored too! BTW, how the heck do you get sponsored?!?!

 

That's actually not that far off the stock tires. As soon as I can burn through these stupid all seasons I might get a set lol

Jon can you pm me how much those would run me?

 

LOL just steal Jon's, then get him to tell Falken some guy came by the shop, took them, so he needs another free set hahahaha

 

$120 each.



for the sponsorship I had just asked them about it and it also helped the amount of business we have done with them.

 

lol free stuff rules!

 

that sounds affordable yay :P

Winters this year and probably Falkens rt 615's in 14's next year lol.

I agree with Justin though, maybe you should lose those tires in my trunk Saturday Jon.

 

Yeah, then get another free set, then you can lose those in my Fit! Then we all have new tires!

BTW, you have a contact at Falken I can talk to about sponsorship?

 

Might as well sticker up your car for some free stuff

You should do Solo1 racing once you get the supercharger

 

LOL I can represent at DTP For a set of free tires I can be bought.

 

I am hearing that the official first Secret Streets of the season will be on May 16th.

we'll see!
