i'm getting into the auto-x thing this year but the cinci scca puts on an event once a month if that so i'm trying to see if the columbus area is good. anyone here have experience w/ this group? how are the courses? how are the people? are there usually a lot of people coming to the events? really i'm just trying to find anyone w/ some knowledge of the mid-ohio scca to see if it's worth the drive up to compete.

many of us. depending on the event, sometimes there are crazy amounts of car entries. the courses are always, in my opinion anyway, well designed. people are nice too. im trying to find a car to compete with this year, it sucks not having one lol

<---Ahem......

 

We have a good region here, a couple of very good lots to run on and some great people to compete with. I know of 1 or 2 people in STS and it has been probably the toughest and most contested classes in the past couple years with lots of great competitors. I believe STS averages 10+ cars per event here.

 

Courses average 40-60 seconds with some at Cooper Stadium over a minute on occasion. We probably average 80-120+ drivers per event but they run things usually quite well and they strive for 5-6 runs per event but it doesn't always happen. It's well worth the trip.

I should be out there most events as usual, I just need to get some new tires for the Laser as the current ones especially on the rear are quite old and dry rotted and have no grip anymore, the damn thing was ass happy as hell at the last event last year.

there was a guy at the last event last season here in cinci in a rental focus. he beat the hell out of it and it was pretty funny to watch knowing it was a rental.

my dad used to get rental cars to teach police driving in.

death toll:

5 tow truck bills

1 burnt to the ground

2 engine fires

200 belted tires

13 flat tires from being worn through

16 melted hub caps

3 tosted transmissions

uncountable warped rotors

 

not too offten can you look through the wheel of a crown vic and see a glowing rotor lol. additional coverage is worth it, when we had the fire and mechanical failures we called them and said we had car trouble and they brought us out another car haha.

I might run once or twice again this year in the cougar. I need high dollar tires to compete even in F-Stock so I won't be seriously trying to win. I actually have more fun working the course where I get to see corvettes run up close.

 

Hopefully the nova will make an appearance this summer too. I'll just show up just to beat the piss out of it.
