First Time Autocrossing

[Ruepart Hoaxley]

Took the Miata to Fairfield County SCC to run my first autocross- pretty challenging course. Five runs, three clean and two with a cone each, and the fastest course time of the first timers, placed second in FT division. Fastest time was 60.7, an improvement of 7 seconds from the start of the day.

out of an 85-driver field, probably a good third were driving Miatas or RX-8s.

whats it cost/where is this at exactly?

[Ruepart Hoaxley]

costs 40 a car, it was in the abandoned parking lot of an engine plant in Stratford. They rotate spots every time though. check out fcscc.com, they have all the advance registration stuff there.

this is why you break it loose

you can run two people in one car too, or ride along

[SupermanIce-J]

Although I have zero seat time. i am pretty sure that you do not need a good turning radius to auto cross... just needs moar drifttype driving.
