PM Alberto, from what I've read before, he had a triple suction camera mount that he just slapped on his door and rolled like that. I might be wrong though.

Spend allot of $ and allot of time at the track. Have your book checked off by lots of instructors.

There really aren't enough Z's out on track for as much as I hear people saying they do track events.

Probably pretty far (and late notice)for you to make the drive from DC but there is an autocross this Sunday (02.10.2008) @ Virginia Motorsports Park.

8018 Boydton Plank Road
Petersburg, VA 23803

It's a NASA event

VMP is a nice lot too from what I remember. I used to autocross my Mustangs down there back in like 2000.

I've attended a few in the past but Sunday will be my first time participating (woot!). It is usually a pretty open track where you can get up to speed, not the very tight courses I've seen elsewhere.

The Washington Region of the SCCA has two Autocross schools - Level one (beginners) and Level two (the next step) on 15 and 16 March. They are very intensive programs and have in-car instruction in addtion to running by yourself. The schools last most of the day and are an excellent way of learning and improving your skills as well as learning how your car handles. The cost per school is $180 - most of which goes to insurance coverage. If you're interested, go to www.wdcr-scca.org The registration information can be found under the Regional Monthly Events

Thanks! Unfortunately, that's more than I want to spend on an AutoX the week before Summit Point. I'll be sure to watch their website though.
