Auto cross Batavia Ford

[duststang]

anyone do any auto cross? I was driving by UC (old Ford plant) in Batavia and seen a bunch of really nice cars racing. I had to stop and check it out! This looks really cool, everyone was really nice and some people will let you ride with them. It appears that they will let you race pretty much anything. I think there is another one soon. I would love to try it out!

I did for several years up until 2003. Autocross can be a blast and is a great way to learn about your car and what it can and can not do. My Dad had been doing it since the early 80's and when I got my temps in 1992 he let me come out with him. To get serious about though you will need to invest in some good sticky tires...or just go out and have fun with your stock car.

Go to the website and find the next event. Then just show up and register as a novice. They will walk you around and give you some basics to get started with. Good Luck!

Unless Wilmington sells out again, I think they will have 115 car limit next event which happens to be same weekend as Moody's meet.

Auto-X is a lot of fun. As a novice you don't need anything more than your daily driver. You will quickly discover how much handling even that car has. The more power and handling the quicker you will be whacking cones.

Check out the SCCA website (www.cincyscca.com) - you might want to read the rules and try to figure out what class you will best fit into. They try to group like vehicles as much as possible to keep things fair. The rules will also spell out what you will need for tech (including helmet, etc.)

Be prepared to get there early to walk the course. You will also man a station around the course to shag cones when someone plows one or two over. Its a great way to meet new folks and have a great time.

When you register let them know you are a newbie and they will get someone to show you the ropes.

Good luck, have fun!

First step is to marry someone way hotter than anyone you should be able to get. Have a child... Then when you have proven your not gay go get a smurf blue miata. Check.. Check... Checkety check. Lol

Thanks for the info. I know they were having some legal issues for the thing in Wilmington. DHL is only a cruise through town and the bypass is nice and new. It's about 15 minutes from my place
