Last events for 05?

[MichaelH]

Is anyone planning on doing any more events in 2005? If so when and where? I think the rest of the guys that I go with are done for the season but I would like to squeeze one more in. Anyone up for Barber or VIR next month? There is a PCA event at Roebling next month for all southeast people.....

I just did the SCCA event at Memphis MMP this past weekend. I think this finished off the track season for me (I'm broke). I'll still do some AutoX though.

I still have not done an auto-x yet. I figure by the time I take most of a Sunday I may as well wait a couple of weekends and do a full weekend DE. How do you like auto-x compared to a full track event?

I'll take Track days/Driving schools any day over AutoX. AutoX is fun, but I like to go faster and actually have room to make a good line down a track. In autox you just have to make the best of the space avilable.
I still think that Autox is a great experience and it gets very competative and fun. You should definatly try one.
I like it when not too many people show up, then we have less standing around and more drving fun. For example, last autox there were 16 people, and by 2 o'clock we were doing "instructional" or "fun" runs.

The rockingham event finished up with my driver side rotor catching on fire. Could've been low pads or seized caliper, tough to tell at this point I guess...

What a weekend :)

wow, bet that made for an exciting last lap.


I had planned on going down to Barber again late Nov., but after seeing Traquests price ($650!), I've decided to pass since that will be a lot of beer.

The plan now is to either go a week earlier with the Sunshine bmwcca chapter or try out VIR a week later.

Still have a few autox's left thankfully.

I'm getting in one more HPDE at Thunderhill Raceway on Nov. 11th. Running with a group called Unlimited Laps. The turn-outs with this bunch are a decent size....never a cluster-fuck on the track. The organizers have a spotless safety record. 5+ years of events and not a single accident.

Forecast for next Friday looks good. Mostly clear with temps around 70. Should be a good day overall.
