Those SCCA long, fast courses aren't the best for beginners. If you come out I will sit in with you and ride along. Pretty much all of the local clubs know me, and even if they don't allow passengers they will let me "instruct".

Is there a date coming up that may be good for a Virgin? Should I leave my stockers on or put the 19s on with wider rubber?

I am going to the mazda club event on Saturday in Bowie, but that is the one club I have never run with. After that there is only SCCA and AI events for the next several weeks. Those are very regimented with strict protocol, etc.

April 23 Capital Driving Club is at Bowie. That would probably be a good first event to attend. You can ride with me prior to running.

Link for the registration for the Mazda event please.

There is nothing else going on this or next weekend :P

I wanna take my front tires to the cords before the SCCA runs. I will be getting a new "used" front set for the stock wheels in CL sometime next week.

You will probably get 8-10 runs with such a low turnout. I plan to run the AM.
