I believe you can also use the baby seat locks to accomplish the same thing. I read that a couple of guys have used them... think it was in the Racing & Competition forum.

Locking oneself into the seat is a good thing.

Yea, I thought id actually get to go, and I might (although not that good of a chance now) I registered with Ed last night, then got to work this morning and found out ill probably have a day trip on sunday... WHY couldnt this be on saturday like all the rest of them? Since it looks like I cant come to this one I might head up to cumberland on satuday instead. Anyone interested in joining me? Its a top of 2nd (sometimes 3rd) gear course.

Osbourn Park High School, Manassas, VA is the location of our next autocross event, on SUNDAY September 18th.

Registration and tech inspection will be at 8:00 and will promptly close at 8:45 to try to accomodate the full field, while still giving 6 runs. You must be DONE by 8:45. So if you arrive at 8:00 you won't have a problem. Don't arrive at the last minute. If you don't get teched and registered by 8:45, you will lose your morning runs.

The event fee is $25 for members and $35 for non-members at this event. So if you plan to attend, e-mail me your name(s), make, model, year and color of your vehicle.

There is a freeze on membership unless already arranged prior to September 4th.

Member reservations (or participants that will join the club upon showing up) for any events can be made at any time. Open reservations for non-members for this event begins September 10th. To reserve a spot, e-mail Ed Chan your

Full name
make
model
year
color of your vehicle
CDC number (if applicable)
Event date:

If you are a member and want to participate, I suggest that you reserve your spot as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Ed Chan directly or PM me and I can help you out.
OK, I want in on this one. It will be my first autox. Is there somewhere that can see the rules, regulations and such? I guess what I need to know the most is what kind of helmet to get, and where can I get it from (before Sunday).

How do I e-mail Ed Chan directly? (What's his e-mail address?)

Any other advice for a n00b?

Ok... I found his address. But, no information on the helmet or anything else I should know.

I appreciate all the advice. Hopefully I will see some of you there. I will be the guy looking real confused and knocking over cones.
I'm glad I won't be the only one!!

Hey Aaron!

For autocross, you just need a cranium cannister. It can be a motorcycle helmet. Also, they have a couple of loaners... maybe 4.

I am one of the head organizers/tech inspectors/instructors for the club. I can ride along and give you some pointers that you might find helpful. We have loaner helmets (~6 of them). If you are running stock street tires (S02s or 050s) you may want to consider 33 psi rear cold and 34-35 psi front cold. Remove all excess junk and leave at home, you can take out your spare/tools at the event. Make sure you have the correct amount of oil and coolant in your car. Wear some soft shoes (running, wrestling etc). Leave ego at home (I know everyone thinks they are pretty good drivers) but at the first time out pretty much everyone is slow (don't worry nobody laughs). Have fun.
