Default Autocross Pictures

The West Tennessee Corvette Club held their first autocross at their new location. The course was setup while it was still sprinkling rain, but later on the sun came out and dried most of it out.
Here are some pictures of the event.

Dave,

as usual cool pics!

While I'm sure everyone agrees even with a helmet this is no place for a child, I'd venture to guess these are just parade laps to give the kids fun.

Sounds about as smart/reasonable as a pic I saw a long time ago of our local Corvette club allowing it’s corner workers to sit in lawn chairs under tents at the corner worker stations.

Looks like there were a few drivers with no helmets at the July event.

Our autocross insurance won't allow anyone under 16 to ride as a passenger in either timed runs or fun runs. And drivers have to be 18, have liabilty insurance and a driver's license. Our Association rules require that passengers also have to wear a helmet.
