Take back the keys!

So does anyone autocross here? i saw a thread about it after a quick search from like july or something. i was going to this past summer but i decided to go watch motorcycle racing at nelson instead on the one day i could go haha.

i thought about getting into it and racing in a stock class next summer till i get a new car and start modding. anyone go to beave run?

oo.. sounds like fun.. closest i could get to time attack for now

Theres a track that they set up at Heartville, ask Cory about it I know he has went in the past

Yeah Hille and I go, its in Hartville the PCA hosts it. I'll post up about when its time.

i would like to try it but id probabaly have to do some retarded class because my car is swapped.

not familiar with the SCCA at AutoX, only the PCA. This is just competing against your own time bettering your driving skills nothing else.

ohh isee, thats cool though. the SCCA just has alot more strict classes to keep a level playing field for scoring. the PCA seems cool if its less "pressure" so to speak. do alot of people show up at those usually?

Has anyone ever gone to the Fundays at Nelson?

sounds almost tasty

sounds fun. ill go.

Yes a good deal of people go. PCA does have sound level restrictions. I believe its 90 decibels max at 4k rpms. Also a snell 2000 helmet or better required.

As for nelson, I've only attended their Wonderful Wednesday hosted by Justin's father. < ton of fun if your car can last 30 minute straight beatings.

yea the SCCA has limits for everything, suspension, intake, exhaust, turbos, etc. i think the only thing you can have and still be in the stock class is a catback and i think r-comp tires as long as they're the same size as the stock ones.

it would be awesome to drive at nelson

Fundays are $120 for all day. It isn't a competition but you are out there with other cars. There is a number of heats and I think each goes for probably 20-30 minutes and they keep cycling through them. The only requirement is a DOT helmet.

if i thought my car could handle it, i would totally save up some money and do a fun day.

$120?!?!?!?! fuck that then. im out. i could mod my car for that. way to much money ftl....... its just a couple of people who got a permit and set up cones in a parking lot theres no way it should be that much........would be fun but no way for that much. money better spent elsewhere ftw.

Wrong, Nelson Ledges is road racing.... my 240 did 120+ on the back straight.... its a TRACK.

Autox is $20.

your stupidity shows!

Lets compair value.

25 bux for quaker = I get 5 runs, for me thats less than 1 full minute of racing.
120 bux for nelson (or less if u do half day) = You can see 2 Hours of race time, not to mention it's not just straight lines. You would be so tired from that amount of racing that you probably woudln't be able to run the whole day, even if your american klunker did hold together!

If you can bring your self to do the math, you'll see the difference! Then again, i bet you coudln't out drive me even if it was in my beater, so i guess you better stick to straight lines.

I never timed it, I only lasted 30 min before blowing a coolant line behind my head that ended my day.

There was everything there the day I went to spectate, I'm going to take my Hyundai if I ever go. Slower cars are supposed to go to the side and wave the faster cars by. I want to do it so bad.

yea thats how it was when i went to watch motorcycle racing there. they also had a no passing on the corners rule for the beginners class.

i agree with tony, quaker is not a good value when you really look at the prices of other types of racing/tracks you can do with a car.

i can probably get something arranged if we some people together. I'm friends with a bunch of the corner workers.

Sounds good Tony, start a road racing thread if so.

im probabaly down to try nelsons this year. if i blow my motor oh well.

im prepared to buy brake pads and tires after the day too.

i'll go, we'll see if my piece can hold together after 30mins of abuse. i know it can atleast last 12 seconds

SCCA you'll be lucky to get 2 or 3 runs in and you're there all day. Hartville autocross with pca lasts for about 4 hours and you get 8 runs, maybe 10 if time permits. Little prizes if you win but that's it....it's good fun. jump on the

man you guys r crazy...come down beaverun in the smmer...no1s ever there4 auto x..did it in my old hatch there was like 5 of us...i prolly got like 25turns...andthey have a road coarse thats pretty sweeet..do drifting there 2

Who holds the events?....Last time I was there for a track event and there was an autocross too, there were a ton of cars there...although it was for scca...
