Autocross is an amazing way to learn about how your car drives, more so than drifting even IMO. I hoped more drifters will utilize this motorsport to hone their skills and learn their cars better.

I'll probably get my car out to a few autoX events if i can get it to pass their inspection stuff. Pretty much i'd need the same things i'd need for the DE events. (windshield or screen, roof support or roll bar)

i'm taking your advice!! I'm going to try and do some SCCA events this year.

i did auto x for a few years and it teaches you a lot about car balance, control and the ability to look beyond your hood.

i want to start going again this year.

Here is a clip of the AutoX event on Sunday, March 15th. This was my first event in about 3 years with a new car and without power steering so it was definitely a learning experience.

So to do these events do we need to Become SCCA Members from their Websites?

You dont have to become a member of SCCA, but the events will cost more. I think if you plan on attending 5 or more SCCA events then the membership pays for itself. Otherwise its not really worth it.

Actually I think I remember last season they made it so you do have to be a member, but you can get a temporary membership the day of the event for free or $5 or something, and it's good for a month or something like that. I can't remember exactly, I think I remember it sort of does force you to buy a membership eventually though because you cannot use the temporary one forever.

But yeah, autocross first and learn to go fast first then go drifting later. Just knowing how to drive a car at the limits prepares you much better to actually drive beyond the limit when the time comes.

i'm only gonna be able to go to two AutoX events here before i move. and arizona is in another Region so maybe i should just hold off on becoming a member til then.

And I'm Definatly going!

Thats a good idea, I will be going to the May 9th (Saturday) Miller Motorsports Park (West Paddock) next. When are you moving down to AZ?

i'm leaving May 22nd. so i'm planning on the May 9th AutoX as well.
