How to get started


>>> Register an account

>>> Subscribe to MotorsportsNE in the club dropdown menu. (doesn't mean you're paying or anything)


>>> Go to my garage and add your car, pick a #, and just pick a class. You will be added to class when you get there anyways. Leave PAX blank


>>> Go to events calendar and register for the APRIL 1ST EVENT


*****************IF YOU DO NOT SEE THE APRIL EVENTS, GO TO "MONTH" AND CHECK APRIL. THIS WILL TAKE YOU TO THE APRIL EVENTS. YOU MAY STILL BE IN MARCH*****************





When to be there?


The site opens at 7 AM. Registration starts at 7:30 and closes at 9:15.


If you are a newb, I recommend getting there at around 7:30 and walk the course a few times.

If you show up at around 8, you're fine too. Just be there BEFORE 9 AM!


It usually lasts till around 4PM - 5PM, but well worth it.


I will be there at around 7 am in my black Boxster. I will bring an air compressor, tire gauge (& food for myself)




IF YOU ARE A FIRST TIMER, HERE'S SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD BRING/DO:

- TAKE ALL LOOSE **** OUT OF YOUR CAR. This will help you to not get distracted when running. For the items you wish to bring, put them in a bag (not a plastic bag) and just leave them at the lot. Everybody leaves their things there, so don't worry about it.

- Raise your tire pressure to max. performance settings

- Blue tape so you can put your # on your car. (if you don't, they use some gunky marker stuff to write your #s)

- HELMET. Motorcycle helmets should be fine. If you don't have one, they have loaners. They don't really check your helmets, but it does have to LOOK legit. A bike helmet won't cut it (bicycle)


- Bring food and beverages. It's a long day. You will get hungry.




I recommend you try to get a friend to go w/ you. It will help you pass the time when waiting and it will be a nice competition to see who scores higher



Any car can do it. Yesterday there was everything from a Ford Escort GT to a Caterham S7 (cool guy)




If not, come bother me. I'm pretty friendly.


Everyone is really nice and will help you out. Don't be afraid to go and talk to people and make friends. These people are very social and love cars




SO REGISTER NOW AND RESERVE A SPOT!!!!

 

Bump!

 

bump

 

Can't make it. Werk -.o

 

How about the one on the 8th?

 

definately. :-D

 

I will also be there on the 8th

 

Fine, I guess I'll have the upper hand on you newbs come the 8th

 

weather permitting, I might stop by and give it a shot

 

All right, but I suggest you register now and reserve a spot because you are not guaranteed a place if you do not. But if you show up really early, you're likely to get in.


No cost to reserve a spot



What car will you be running if I can ask?

 

i'll be there...
c u guys there..
like how you're posting these events up....
the more the merrier.
we need more g's and z's representing!!!!!!!!!!
i'll be in the ss with ings.

 

The SS? Is that a color of Z or is that a Chevy SS?


If so, what model SS?



Sorry if I am being a newb




--- I post these events because I get a bit tired of the meets where you just hang around and talk and look at the same car over and over...I want some action. Cars are for driving not for eyeing

 

silver stone 350z

 

so how many Zs are going this sunday?
I dont want to be the only one
lol

 

is it cool to just come by and check this out, at some point in the day as a spectator?

 

yes, you can just come by and watch... but we usually end by 3-4pm, so don't come too late

 

hey Bavaria Motorist:

I'm sure to come on upcoming dates...just meeting up with Zag crew in south jersey this coming sunday...

but I searched for AutoX long before it started up this year since I'm very interested in learning how to handly my Z better. Shoot, I'm even willing to volunteer even if I don't get to drive just to see what it's like. But thanks for invite and will be looking forward towards following Sund/ events...

 

Come around 1PM and bring sandwiches.

 

Well, the last one (for this club anyway) is april 8th. Then it doesn't start up again until late May.


It's not a big deal. I admit I was a little nervous too, almost like I felt out of place and like such a newb, but once you get out there, it's really much easier than it looks


So just get out there and drive. You won't regret it.

 

People are friendly and will help you out.

BavariaMotorist, you comin for sure?
I dont think I met you last Sunday.
