Find one of the event officials (in the orange shirts) and they'll be able to hook you up with a spotter. You must let control and/or safety know before you head on course with a spotter - don't just go wandering out there.
How far are these events spread out? frequency of events...
I just might compete if they dont happen too often.

Yeah Yeah... what/ev... lol... This is something that i'm actually interested in competing in... at the same time, my car is my DD, so f-in it up is not an option... depends really on how long until the next one comes around... if they're spaced out kind of far then i probably wont pass it up...

As for frequency:
The next event you cant go to because its held on The Texas Motorsports Road course - so beginners are not allowed - must have 3 autoX events minimum......see below in red
if your worried about scratches, etc.....the next event after that is at Mineral Wells - where the surface is really horrible and lots of loose rocks/debris.......many dont like to go there because of the scratches they get on their cars.......
Mineral wells is where drift events are held monthy....thats where i go and many autox'r dont like going there becuase they dont wanna scratch their daily driver.......
so, if you skip pennington this weekend -( which is a great spot for beginners like i mentioned a few times before, and my reason for pushing the event so much on the community to come out )- then your gonna have to wait till Novembers event TMS bus parking lot.......which is another solo favorite...
TMS bus lot is another good beginner spot - flat lot, no poles, but its farther out since its not in dfw like pennington, and facilities arent close by since its in the bus parking lot of TMS. Pennington is a really good gig they have going thats for sure...

I've got some bad news for the FX drivers.
I talked to our chief of tech last night, and we can't allow the FX's to compete. Because it's not specifically classified by the SCCA it falls under the SUV heading according to the NHTSA. The solo rules are very clear on this - we can't allow SUVs that aren't specifically classified. Doesn't matter what suspension is on it or how much it's been lowered. The measurements I was referring to are for pickup trucks that aren't classified, not SUVs. My bad.
I already PM'd Stuart so he should know, but I wanted to make sure ithe other FXs planning to attend knew about it ahead of time.

If you don't have your own magnetic numbers or decals we have panels you can use for numbering in tech.
