        how many cones did this guy run over?

        Any events in August up there? I would sign up for the July one, but I dont think it will work with all the other stuff I have going on that month.

          I've only ever tried it once up at the Santa Rosa airport so maybe I should try it again, but I really didn't enjoy autocross. My on track experiences have been way more enjoyable than driving around some cones.

          Anyone care to explain why they like it?

            While this will be my 1st ever actual driving experience at an AutoX event, I go because everyone is super cool and knowledgeable and it's a great way to spend a day. And you get to drive your car as fast as you'd like for less than half of what a speeding ticket costs. Of course we'd all like to drive Laguna, Sonoma, Thunderhill or whatever else any day but AutoX is just so fun and cheap, you can't really beat it imo

                Santa Rosa kinda sucks for a venue. Its got its highlights, but you can't really make that creative of a course. I don't really like running there either.

                The courses we make at Sears Point are very different every time. We've done some where there was a straight that I was doing nearly 90 on, before it did a 180 and went back the same way only to peel off and go a different direction. The great thing about autoX is that it is just like racing on a big track, only very condensed and rapid fire. If you get good at autoX, the big track feels like everything is in slow motion. AutoX keeps your reaction times sharp and really teaches car control and precision. With us, its all about coming out and having fun. We have timing setup, but its not a competition. Super low key.

                The next events are: July 16, August 27, and the final event is November 19. There is a chance we might try and hold an event up at Thunderhill as well. Not sure however. http://trackmasters-racing.com/

                  He got a few. It was a guy driving a vette that was killing most of them. He came in pushing 3, with 3 more under the car

                            Yeah I can see that, maybe I should give it another shot! I do like that the entry fees are much lower.

                                Ah, got it. I'm working on Monday, and the roadster's exhaust is 99.5 dB according to Laguna's sound shack. I can't play down there. Heck, the exhaust on the M3 is 96 db so I can't play with either.
