I opentrack with the Shelby Club and Green Flag mostly. Didn't do much this year. The Shelby Club usually runs some "fun" auto-x's during the summer. Lots of runs (like 10+), unlike what you'd get with the SCCA or NASA (~3). Timed, but no awards.
are those auto X's open to non members or other car makes. 10 runs sounds like a blast. I wanna do more auto x since I can't run at sacto anymore

Nope. They're from Maier Racing. Fit and finish isn't great, but what the hell--it's a race car. ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)
The fronts are complete fiberglass fenders, and the rears are just flares that we riveted on. I actually like the look of the rivets, and I didn't want to spend the $$ on blending the fenders into the stock fenders.

generally you have to be a member of the Shelby Club, Tiger Club, or Ferrari Club. If you aren't it's unlikely you'll know when the events are. Shelby Club membership is $48/yr. I think if you are a NASA or SCCA member can attend, but you'll need to check on that.

Thanks, DropTop! It's a pretty fun ride. When the weather gets better in the spring, I'll take it out for more opentracking. I just wish I had more time to drive it!

I know how that feels Bill. My hood flew up on me like a month and half ago so cureently my car has no hood and it does nothing but rain here so I haven't been driving it. Should be back up and running shortly after the new year ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

That's an understatement... ![[Smile]](smile.gif) I do it once in a while also.. My favorite is www.americanauto-x.com you get 5 runs on big courses but it's in Atwater at Castle....
I also like the NASA autoX series (was in Marina) but they may not have any events this year unless they find a new site ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
