Default AutoX in the metro area? DCTC ftw!

I just signed up for the event at DCTC. It's on july 5th. Been getting emails from another event site for a while, and finally looked into the MAC. I paid my registration and will be doing the MOWOG event #3.

Some of you guys should join up and try it out. I've done autox before, but this will be a first for the Z33. It's hard to pass this up since it's so close to home, and I need to keep my offensive driving skills fresh.

You guys in the area should at least come out to watch. The list of registered cars is amazing. You won't regret it. At least come cheer me on and take vids/pics for me.

Depending on how the July 5th event goes, I might sign up for the August date.

July 11th or 12th is full at the St Paul Midway stadium. I don't like the lot out there, but I've watched them race there. I might go just to be a fan.

Anybody going this Sunday? I think it would be cool if some of you guys showed up to either watch, take pics, or participate. Show up early enough and you might get a spot.

You guys totally missed out on a great time! I had a blast! Learned more about the Z's handling capabilities, and I found out my exhaust measured at about 90db.

I literally improved my time between first and last run by almost 12 seconds. The course was awesome, IMHO.

mnautox.com is the forum

go there and register, they also have a link at the top of the home page that will let you register to be a card-carrying member of the MAC which gives you a discount at the events.

I just registered for the August 2nd event in Rosemount. This should give me a few weeks to get the Z in order. I still have some brake work to do from all hot laping at BIR a few weeks back.
