I just did the math and realized there are NO events scheduled for the next 7 weeks!!!!!
This is not good. Not at all. Anyone want to go-in on the lease for an abandoned grocery store and setup a mini-course??

If you're serious, then yes.
If you're just playing with our emotions... well I'm still in.
If you're both serious, ER has been known to do private events. Let's just guess maybe 30 - 40 people would buy in. What's the worst that could happen?
I'm listening...
We rent MW and have a party.
Oh yeah, MW is pretty cheap, isn't it? Let's see what we can come up with. Davidss rents it sometimes for TnT.
I am interested so long as it is an open day.
I bet my addiction is bigger than yours!
Coming from someone who opted to pass on the last autocross of the year...I don't feel for you. If it is a Saturday morning/early afternoon, I will do 7 consecutive if we can get enough. All we need is some cones, lights, and about 8 others to make it damn near as affordable. I wanna do the Takashi Challenge... only with real cars! I am willing to pay $80 an event if you can get it organized, that being if we don't get enough to make it affordable for others.

Didnt pass on the Last autox, I spent the entire day driving at ECR. Not my fault PCA can't schedule better. :)
Im actually not a fan of PCA autocross courses. It's the only club I don't run with. Hope you enjoyed an opportunity to win, since JJ and I weren't there. ::Banana::
I hope you're doing some cool go-fast mods this off season.
How about a track day less cones to set up?? ::Banana::
Oddly enough, winning doesn't really require either of you to not be there. Thanks for the asshattery, see you next season!Quote:

I would be up for a winter event at Mineral Wells as long as you arrange nice weather.
Hey man, this is Texas! Back in Ohio we had to AutoX in the Snow... with tire chains... uphill both ways!!!Quote:

They had actual winter auto-xs like I'm sure you're referring to too: parking lots that could be considered "plowed." NJ does and still does as well. Can't say I ever went to those though.
We used to build supercross tracks for snowmobiles on the lake/river that was my backyard in Syracuse. Well, I did. Everyone else would just come to play when I was done building. ha Even back in Jersey as a kid, a few friends and I would build mini supercross tracks for our dirtbikes on the lake across the street from the house (we didn't have tractors and such back then, so they only had small-medium jumps). Was a great way to keep in racing shape during the long off-season. Much more convenient than asking our parents to drive us in the dead of winter to the indoor tracks half a day away. I digress.
Hey did anyone but me notice what ken o posted! I'd be up for a Track Day! No cone shagging!Quote:

If someone has a set of wheels/tires I can borrow/rent and a spare Toyota coil pack, I'm in!Quote:

So yeah, none of the tires I have are trackday ready :(
I'm interested in a Trackday, ECR would be great for me.Quote:

Track Day? I'm not standing around all day in the cold weather just to drive around a few corners and... Oh, wait, never-mind.
Yea, I'd be in for a track day.
Hell, I'd even do a soapbox derby at this point.:drive:
:confused:
In for a trackday if that looks doable. In for the autox party too. Even in for the soapbox derby. I'm so splintering your ass!
Those could be dangerous.Quote:

You do realize you guys can just pay your dues and do a track day without any help or organizing? I like how some talk shit about autocross in winter...fall actually, yet they don't bother with track in the warmer months. Grow a pair and come out and autocross! :burnrubr:
I have more seat time in a soapbox: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf-bYz7nTxwQuote:

i want to drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What about ECR on Dec 23, 26, or Jan 2?
In for ECR Jan 2
I am in for any of those days, though Jan 2 would require me to take-off work, so the other two are better.Quote:

Anyone have a LS1 engine I can borrow?
So it actually looks like this is heading towards a track day?

FYI, Apex Driving Academy is having an event at MSR on January 2nd.
DFW Auto Club is sharing the track with them – they have 18 spots for a ”private” track day at MSR on the 2nd.
Just FYI.
Just checked... my new RS3's won't arrive until Jan 4th or 5th. I can do an AutoX, but the tread on two of the tires is about 1/16", so there is no way they'll survive a track day.
ECR is available on 12/23 or 1/2 for $150.
MSR 1/2 with DFW Auto Club $150 or Apex $200
