Kerplunk Thu, Apr-29-2004, 04:12:25 AM ahh...i'm going to sound stupid...
This autocross stuff. What exactly is it ? You just drive around on a track ? how much is it to go ? Do you need anything done to your car or checked out before you go? How skilled of a driver do you have to be to do it ?
:bow:

I am definetly in. Just let me know when and where.
I also suggest for us to head up to Lime Rock CT for some real track time.
MaxxM3 Thu, Apr-29-2004, 10:45:07 PM whats up joey,
you just need a helmet and usually 20-30 bucks... if you dont have a helment they have loaner helmets at the event..
another thing: your car must be empty, you cant have anything flying around inside..
im glad we are getting a good number of responses, i will look into some dates and will see if everyone can agreee on one..
