I just got back from there, couldn't quite beat the rain though. I did see an older rx7 though. Didn't see anything else and I didn't make it to the domestic section at all, rain ran us out of there. The sale is NOT today, its saturday as they told us.

Wait till next year when Chris Wells is out there with him!!

Wow, they managed to make the GTO even uglier! So theyre still going to be using that platform? If so they should at least try to make it not look like a GTO with a body kit and lots of scoops and holes in the body.

That's correct, 830am I believe is the latest you can register on-site. They probably will not enforce that too much this weekend as only about 60 or so cars have pre-registered for the event. Regardless I think it's best to be there by 730-8am to get ready, especially if you're new.

Simply means you ride shotgun with someone that's racing. There have been accidents but they're extremely rare in autocross. Cooper stdium's lot only has 4 large light posts in it, it's the only thing you could hit and the course is designed to work around those. Your probably more likely to hit the lottery than ever be involved in a wreck in autocross, but it is racing and there's always a risk. Racing starts around 9:30 am until it's done somewhere between 3-6pm.

Just drop by sometime then and ask for a ride along!

Sold.

^^ Funniest shit ever!!!

Good engine, junk car. I rode in one of the current ones, it felt like it was going to fall apart and rode like shit even for a performance car. Hopefully they addressed all that with the new model, regardless it's a fast car!

Sometimes theyre a little slow on responding. If your signing up for the "OVR" drivers school then you'll have no problem. The "Evolution" drivers school might be full already as they dont allow a large number of participants to keep the student/teacher ratio very low. Autox is short for "Autocross". It's a cone course setup typically in a parking lot and is designed to challenge you against the clock. It's not wheel to wheel and is something anyone can do as long as your vehicle is mechanically sound. Here's the link to my thread with the pics so you can see first hand what it's about... http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23816

Lots of people should be out this weekend, they were last weekend.

I'd like to see some clips of AJ Hawk's killer tackling as well.

:eek2:

Looks like there might be rain Sat! Bring your umbrella's poncho's and street tires! Unless there's lightning or the conditions are real bad the race goes on. If it gets cancelled I post it in here as soon as I know about it.

I like it. You can see in several of the clips he doesn't even have to run his fastest to outrun everyone else on the field, unreal.

It's $35 for non-SCCA members if you don't pre-register. Cooper stadium is directly off I-70 just west of downtown columbus. Coming from the east side you simply take I-70 west to the Mound St. exit, at the bottom of the ramp you're staring at the parking lot. Ricochet, people autox cars that are heavier with less power than yours. It's all about having fun. Racing usually starts around 9:30 to 10am. It costs nothing to watch or get ridealongs. If you are racing you are expected to work, you'll work 1 heat and probably chase cones after people like me hit them and place them back. We all have to work otherwise there'd be no cones left to drive through, it can be fun working though watching the other cars driving and also getting to see how other people take the course.

http://www.dlbracing.com Look for the date of the event and it will list "OVR" and click on the register icon. It's a nice and easy site to use. Most of all the info you need is in my thread in the "at the track" section but feel free to ask me any questions. I will be at the event sunday by 7am so look for my blue Laser and I should be near by, I'll gladly help show you around. Ben

Boring.

You can go see him at Beaver Run still.

This weekend is all t&t. You must sign up online for the sat event though. The next event on Apr. 29-30 is drivers school sat and points event on sun.

Autocross will be both on Sat. and Sun. this weekend at Cooper Stadium. For those of you not going to trails come on out and try some REAL driving! It's always free to watch and ride along unlike trails.

I saw the video and am watching the race, it's a shame. At least he died doing what he loved, most of us will never get that.

They were taken by a racer there, I'm not sure what kind of camera it is. All I know is it's a 5mp camera with a nice big lens on it.

You fucking wish!! That's much darker than my car, my color is called "Bright Blue Metallic" with BRIGHT being the operative word. Don't take it to heart, its your beater!! Least your turbo car looks good. First autox is next weekend, lets hope it will be warm!
