Like I said before this is where I first tried auto Crossing. If this is your first time, everyone will be more than happy to help you out. You can do a little research right here on the forum in the auto cross/ roadracing section. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=673766 Careful, just one event like this might change your whole outlook on the "Corvette Lifestyle"

This is far and away the best autocross event of the year...If you actually want to DRIVE your vette or learn the autocross sport this is most definitely the event not to miss..

folks - we still have room for anyone who wants to participate!
The original flyer says that the cut-off date was May 1st, but we do have openings.

Also - the per day price is $50 if you don't want to run all three days
the hotel still has openings as far as I know - rate is around $52/nite
send me a PM if you have any questions!!

I don't know yet. I just do what they tell me too.

Actually, I think we've sort of given up on the matching shirt thing this year. No one really mentions it anymore.

I bet the Rat Pack will be there in full force. I for one will be in Australia at that time. I'm headed down for 6 weeks so I'll drink some Victoria beers for you all. Unfortunately, we'll be working a lot more than drinking.

Drive fast...

I'll be back in the summer of 2009 if you all are still racing. It'll be like starting all over again since I haven't been on a track in a long time.

Drive safe.

Looks like i wont make it now I pay my car payment, gas, repairs, ect., but my parents still pay my insurance while im in school. Well they decided on thier own (after i told them not to) to call and tell State Farm I was going to me racing this weekend to find out if I was covered ( i told them im not, but there was nothing to worry about and even if something did ill just tow it down the road and report it).

Anyways the parents threated to stop paying my insurance if I went, and I cant afford to pay it in addition to my other bills and rent.


So looks like I will have to wait untill the fall and Im back at school to sneak away and have some fun, or look into if I can afford HPDE insurance


Take some good pictures, and wish I was going.

You could probally tell how excited I was to go participate in my first Autocross, I just bought a $350 helmet, changed brakes and fluid, ect and the parents knew and didnt care. Also I lost out on my $100+ registration fee for this.
