You can bring any car, just no SUVs, trucks, or go-karts. I've seen everything from a grocery getter 4-door Corolla to a Ferrari.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.baautox.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=868&start=0&rid=288" target="_blank">http://www.baautox.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=868&start=0&rid=288</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.gglotus.org/ggtech/autox-how2/howtoaut.htm" target="_blank">http://www.gglotus.org/ggtech/autox-how2/howtoaut.htm</a><br /><br />If you're free this weekend you should try to come out for at least one day of the American Autocross event this weekend. It will be held Saturday and Sunday, but you do not have to stay for both days. These are really the most fun events I've been to. More runs, faster (speed) and wider courses, and best track conditions. <br /><br />I can help you decide which class to run in if you let me know the mods of your car.<br /><br />I'd suggest just bringing your car and running on your street tires to get a feel for how the events run so you can decide if it is a sport you'll like. So far everyone I've brought out has become addicted!<br /><br />All autocrossers are newbie friendly! Let them know you're new and get some tips and ride alongs in some of the faster cars running stickies.<br /><br />This weekend's event.<br /><br />Dates - Saturday, Aug. 11, and Sunday, Aug. 12<br /><br />Cost - $40.00 for your first run card. This will give you five runs. If you ran in the morning and would like to run for fun in the afternoon, you can purchase a second run card for $20 for 5 additional runs. *Note, you must work one group for each group you run. <br /><br />Time - Track opens at 8am. Morning groups start at 9am. Lunch groups start at 12:30pm. <br /><br />Helmets - Required, Snell M or SA 95 or newer. There are some loaners available.<br /><br />I also posted this in the RoadRacing/Autocross section: <a href="http://www.californiafords.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=7;t=000278" target="_blank">http://www.californiafords.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=7;t=000278</a><br /><br />Here are the run groups for Saturday - <br /><a href="http://www.americanauto-x.com/schedule/rungroup.asp?EventID=91" target="_blank">http://www.americanauto-x.com/schedule/rungroup.asp?EventID=91</a><br /><br />Sunday - <br /><a href="http://www.americanauto-x.com/schedule/rungroup.asp?EventID=92" target="_blank">http://www.americanauto-x.com/schedule/rungroup.asp?EventID=92</a><br /><br />Here's a link to the location of the race.<br /><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Headwind+Dr+%4037.382710,+-120.581350&sll=37.457418,-120.948486&sspn=1.914169,3.735352&ie=UTF8&t=h&om=1&ll=37.386526,-120.581388&spn=0.029939,0.058365&z=14&iwloc=addr" target="_blank">http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Headwind+Dr+%4037.382710,+-120.581350&sll=37.457418,-120.948486&sspn=1.914169,3.735352&ie=UTF8&t=h&om=1&ll=37.386526,-120.581388&sp n=0.029939,0.058365&z=14&iwloc=addr</a><br /><br />Let me know if you think you can make it.
