We gotta do a couple of Time Trials this year and one or two HPDE through NWARC.

Plus.... JRO & NF25... a couple of times (not racing though, ofcourse). Oh man! I'm itching to get out there again!!! I can't wait for Spring.

I'm down w/ that. I'm still watching the NWARC site to see when their schedule pops up. I'm hoping they'll have something in late March/early April.

autoX is one of the best places to begin - low risk (car/self), cheap (~$25), great skills increase, and still lots of fun.

It's probably too early to mention this, but it's something that we should consider doing this summer; another Pacific NW VQ Challenge. But this time we should do the best 2 out of 3 events. The events should be; autoX, 1/4 mile drag and time trial. This way we have all bases covered as far as performance of the car and the driver.

At the same time, there's nothing wrong with going to a trackday without ever doing AutoX. I enjoy it, but alot of people don't like AutoX, too.

^ I agree Triple8Sol, so for the guys that think big track is their thing, I'd say we shoot for Pacific Raceways. Although I think autoX is a best place to start for most. Looks like the NW Alfa Romeo club just released their 2008 schedule.

First350; update first post?

Would there be much interest for the April 24th date?
