    autox for newb

    well I have no clue as to how I would get started, and it really looks like fun. How would I find a chapter or organization and contact them or do I just show up with is probably not the best way to do it. Ok, if that's nto clear enough where would I find a place to register to do it? Any membership fees and so forth. Thanks

    SCCA and BMWCCA always have an even going. I suggest just signing up (it's usually only 10 dollars for novice) and seeing how you like it. Plenty of people there can give you advice.
    The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

      for a novice, you just show up.. tell them you're a n00b. don't worry about being fast, you'll probably be lost your first time out anyway.

        I was just reading through the oregon scca website and it seems there is more to it then just showing up :? And yes I'm sure I will be totally lost as to what's goin on.

          wake up early
          go
          walk the track
          have car inspected
          then find out you are not as good as you thought you were.
          go home.

            Try this place out. They offer all kinds of BMW related driving and fixing stuff. www.bmwacaportland.com I heard about them from a guy that used to live around here. He loved it. I've been too lazy/busy to go check it out.

                Almost forgot. Bring some eats and lots of water. You're going to be sad otherwise.
