Hey guys,

I'm bored out of my mind at UTD. Anyone know of good auto cross events here in the DFW area?

I think it would be tons of fun!

 

haha...

just an idea: maybe we can round up the rx-8 guys and have a friendly competition!

 

Autocross in DFW

There are a TON of autocross events here in Texas!
The mineral wells events are a hike, but usually a big fast course. Have not seen too many RX-8 out racing though....

I need to get some 17's to autocross...don't want to be using these heavy 20s on the course.

wow that is a very helpful site ....... thanks for the info

 

oh.. holy.. thanks for the excellent link!

 

I go autoxing with the SCCA guys every month, but they're starting to **** me off...If you really wanna have a good time & have a lot of runs, go with the PCA guys, they usually get 8 or more runs in vs. 3-4 with the SCCA.

 

Why are they pissing you off?

 

Well, with a max number of runs being 4, and the amount of time that you HAVE to wait and work, as well as the number of people out there, and how unorganized it is, its just not as fun as a PCA event. Ive been to about 8 SCCA events, 1 PCA event, and 1 NASA event, and out of thsoe three, the PCA people have their stuff together, AND they have good timing equipement. It seems as if the SCCA equipment goes out every 30 min, with a 15 min delay to get it fixed...

BTW, if anyone wants to roll with the group i go with, you are more than welcomed to. We have 1 Evo, 1 RX8, 1 WRX, 1 2nd gen RX7 Turbo II or 88 Prelude, 1 1st gen RX7, and 1 KA-T 240sx as well as my G. Half the fun is the drive up there, and the drive back =)

 

I had a good time at the two equipe rapide events I have been to. Still can't believe there are so many choices here!

 

I'd be interested in going to the next PCA event ....... when is it.
350 Track Z .......... no mods ......... but better tires ;-)

 

What happened to the procharged Z?

 

Had my fun with it, but wanted to get back to stock class.

 

I'm going to really try to make the one in Bedford, TX (Pennington Field) on the 11th of this month! Anyone else thinking about going?

 

I with I could, but am up in the mountains this weekend. I hope to be a proud new owner of a twin turbo when I get back. Let us know how it goes.

 

crap, plans fell through.... i was hoping my friend would be in town with my helmet (brought from out of town) but he is coming after registration for the event. i'm definately going to try to make the next of this sponsor's events.

 

Lets try to get an many Zs and Gs to enter so we can have our own class. Even if the sponsers don't sanction it, one of us can still have bragging rights
