FAQ's
What is an Autocross - Autocross events such as this event are low to medium speed auto racing events that allow you to enjoy your car at or near it's limits in as safe a manner as possible; they are often run on parking lots and airport runways. Generally a course will be defined using traffic cones. One driver at a time negotiates a course laid out with the cones, or pylons, testing their skill against the clock. Time penalties are charged for disturbing cones. In most regions, the penalty is 2 seconds per cone, although in some places it may be 1 second. Course speeds are generally limited by technical challenges to around 70mph.

Why Autocross - There are lots of reasons. Autocross is an inexpensive, safe way to experience the excitment of true racing. It helps you discover your car's capabilities and limitations, making you a better, safer driver on the road. And it develops your own driving ability. Many would-be race drivers use it as a jump point into the sport of road racing. But probably the greatest thrill of autocross is the challenge of beating your own time.

Cool. I will be driving my truck again since it really helps for course setup. Anyone want to let me co-drive an S2000 for $20?

Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to make it due to timing.

I'm in!!!

My clutch finally went out on my last trip to Houston. Ordered new clutch and flywheel (backordered), but scheduled for install on 05-Sep-08. I might be there in a 1982 Mercedes 300D turbo diesel, but I'll be there.
