Wanna be here, only one auto-x. Can't wait to do a little track day action, lots of play in the N. Ga. mountains. Does ex-cycle road-race count, <img src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> didn't think so

Optimus, give us an "Internet Resume" on your knowledge of autocross. We are looking for some moderators here

I'll help mod this section too if needed. I've done a few open road racing days at Road Atlanta and try to make it out to almost all of them to watch.

Speaking of that, anyone going to R.A. this weekend?

I have competed in 10 Autocross events in the past year and won my class (STE) in my first time at a SCCA event, I participate in every monthly Porsche/BMW event and I am a member of both Clubs, Looking foward to RR early next year.
Thanks,
Hendrik

I AutoX on a regular basis in ESP class. I lack talent, but I have alot of fun! I'm 3rd in the greater Los Angeles area for now.

Raced the last event with my front swaybar disconnected. Can you say "stupid" <img src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

I have two races left, but it looks like I might drop to fourth unless I can pull a rabbit outta my hat.

Haven't had a chance to AutoX yet but once the new SS gets here and gets set up for AutoX and Road racing I will be doing a lot of it.

Wow! Dave Farmer!
I'm impressed ... a REAL racer, not just a hobbiest.

I'm workin' on it, trying to get my 2000 ready to start playing at Driver's Edge events. I've done the Bragg-Smith driving school 3 times (level 1, & did level 2 twice), my driving skills have increased quite a bit. I've also been out to Motorsport Ranch (S-W of Ft Worth) a few times with other 'vette owners.

I've done a few autocrosses as well, but prefer track events. <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

BTW, nice to see you here Dave!

Plus I've done a few races in my friends 80cc shifter Kart <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0"> .
