I just got back from this event. It was my first auto-x event. I thought i wouldve done better but its harder then it seems. The first 2 times i went i out i spun out but saved myself. Those times i hit 72 sec and 70 sec. Then third run i got a decent one in. Got used to the track and ran 61 sec. And every other time i just kept improving. 4th run- 59.90. 5th run- 59.50 My goal for that day was just get into the 50's. So i made that so im satisfied. Cant wait for the next one.

There is a table set up in the pit area near the staging area. Just ask someone next time and they will point you in the right direction. The people working are there to participate as well, so it is very casual. The cost is $35 for a run group(5 laps) and for $20 more you can run a fun group(5 laps). As far as working, it is necessary to work as a corner worker during a run group. Everyone works as well as races, run a group and work a group.

Kevin, nice pics. Looks like you had a fun layout. I wanted to take my 05 down there, but I could not swing it.

yeah it was the most wide open layout that I've been to there, easily twice as big as before ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)
