I hope some of you can make the next American Autocross Event. These events are a blast! Last weekend I made normal runs and fun runs, 20 laps! The course was fantastic and got help from Mike Maier on setup suggestions and driving pointers.

quote:
The American Auto-X Series is an autocross organization, organizing a 16 event series per year. The series caters to the "American Iron", so therefore the courses are designed somewhat wider than most autocrosses across the nation. The series founder, Larry Park, loved Corvettes, and really enjoyed making them go faster and faster, and since Corvettes need more room to get that horsepower to the pavement, we will continue in that tradition as long as time will allow.
General things to know about AAS:

* There are no membership dues for AAS events, cost is $40.00 per event. We start at 9:00am and try to give everyone 5 runs as long as time permits, and you must work one rungroup per entry. Registration generally opens at 8:00am and is open all day Saturday and till 2:00pm on Sundays.
* Helmets are required, Snell M or SA 95 or newer. There are some loaners available.
* We have a once a year technical/safety inspection, once your car passes tech, you will get a tech sticker which must be displayed, and visible from a short distance.
* Class structure is based on SCCA classes, however not all SCCA classes are offered individually, there are some that are lightly subscribed, so they are combined and indexed. We do not allow Karts.
* You must have a valid drivers license to compete and there are minimum age (16) limits for AAS competitors. Those who are under 18 years old must have a signed parents consent form, and also must have a minors waiver form signed.

You do not have to stay for both days, but if you do, most of the racers stay at the Super8 Motel in Merced.

Hope to see some Mustangs out and about!! Look for me if you show, I'm in the silver 91 GT.
