So I've been doing some searching and was wondering if anybody goes autocrossing up here. I noticed the president of one of the clubs drives an ss/tc in D stock so maybe he's on here too.

 

were is up here

 

its in the nw section....sooooooooooo...

 

hell ya steve im down, and brandon would be too im sure

 

Just keep in mind that some of our common modifications throw us into the ring with turboed and caged miatas.

 

sometimes I wonder why there are people from the complete other side of the country posting in this regional section.

 

I'd be down. I will suck so dont laugh at my times, but I'll go

 

Not only is it in the NW regional section, the damn title of the thread says NW! Go away NE!

Really though this thread was created to see if anybody has actually attended any events in the Western Washington area. I'd like to get in just don't know where to start up here. Loved when I was running my LT down in TN a few times.

-More fun thru corners.

 

Yes I have if you mean Solo (precision cone racing). I was with the Oregon SCCA region. More than likely if you have done any performance mods, including rear sway bars you will be in ST,STP, or SMF. Have fun and make sure you look far down the course while driving.

 

dont they have road course days at pacific raceways?

 

ya...my car pretty much tosses me into the "BEND OVER" class hahahahaha

steve...your koni struts on my car...need them for this...as well as better tires and bigger rear sway :P

 

i still wanna go to learn lol even though my car will out me in a higher category, no shame in learning right? and i think i got a Powell Hardcore Bar on the way!!

 

You can always race in the TO (Time only) class. It is open to anyone and does not put you in the point classes. It is a great way to learn solo racing. Hopefully you have a dot approved helmet..if not they may have them to borrow.

 

Going off this classification sheet (last updated 2007) I think I'd get tossed into CSP since I have a catless pipe, which I may as well get a new hotside pipe and a Term2 tune with that modification level. Oh and still get pwned by everything in my class

If I can find somebody with a catted downpipe that I like for a decent price I could run DSTX. Or if I toss my stock pipe back in I could drop all the way back to DSTS.

Anybody recall hearing a verdict on the boost level debate on the SS/TC at SCCA? They were arguing about the way our ECU doesn't "directly" change boost levels to get more power. I can't recall hearing the final verdict.

Also I'm really glad there's quite a few guys on here interested in mowing down some cones, it's a ton more fun and exciting than driving in a straight line for sure.

 

I think SCCA does all the solo races out at Bremerton and down south near Morton.

I think your right, but I'm not sure if they are looking for scca or not. I want to run on an actual road course, not just between some cones in a big open area.

 

If you want to do that at Pacific Raceways, you have to get in on like the BMW club or Porche guys when they do their club lapping days. It's $160 dollars a full day though (BMW club). Check their schedule.

Pacific Raceways ~ Seattle's NHRA approved racecourse ~ Road Course Schedule

 

will they let a chev run with the bmw or porsche club?

 

I have a friend who is in the BMW club. When they have small turnouts, they pretty much let anyone who wants to lap, in. It cuts their cost per person. The last time I went was 2 years ago. It was a good time. Those guys had a new respect for the Cobalt after that day

 

Id be in whatever the SM class is lol

 

Looks like June 28th is a good day to go. It's open lapping. Probably won't cost much, but the down side is, there might be a lot of cars out there.

 

NICE. I will look into it.

 

26th is the next AutoX day.
