Anybody autocross?

Hey all,

Sorry if this has been covered before. I was wondering if anyone has recently taken their car autocrossing here?

Better yet, is there a driving school we can take our CL's to?

I'm a newbie at legal racing, so I'd like to get involved, but just need some direction.

I believe there are a number of people on the board that autocross. If you're in the San Francisco Bay Area check out www.sfrscca.org/solo2/ and www.geocities.com/nasa_autox/ . There is no need for an extra set of tires, brakes or spare parts. I have run at 5 events on m first set of tires and brakes and have goen 50,000 miles before replacing them. Only thing you really need is a helmet (loaners are usually available), driver's license, 18 years of age, and the entry fee.

I'll be at the NASA event September 14th. PM me if you want to meet up and drive down.
