Feb 15th Auto-X at Carowinds!

February 15th, there will be an autocross at carowinds, just seeing who will be going. I am pretty sure I will go. it is $30 for SCCA Members and $35 for non SCCA. I will post more information as I get it.

This may a good time to get together after the events maybe in the parking lot or even a nearby by park Mcdowell park is 10 minutes from Carowinds and they have picnic areas with grills and lots of parking. Just a thought I know I don't know anyone on here but just a suggestion.

I guess to start get a head count of those attending and assigning each individual an item to bring to make the cookout happen. You can count me in...

I am in the same boat as you. I am about to tear down my steering and put the poly bushings in. I have never ran an autox before, I will let you go first


Let me know if you need any help with it.

It will be just about dark by the time the autocross is over. I will probably go to the Auto-X but am not sure which car I will drive.

Somebody needs to change the title of this thread to draw attention to the new date. Maybe we need to start a new thread if that can't be done.

everybody needs to preregister so you can save $5 and save some time in the morning.

Here is all the information you will need:
http://www.myautoevents.com/pls/mae/...sevent_id=9780

PS. I have 4 BBS vert rims with used autocross tires for $250 if anyone is interested.
