Karting!
I've been making plans to run with you guys on march 22-23. I have a friend who will stop by to check things out and ride as a passenger during a few runs. She has a 10 year old boy named Bret, and she wanted to see if he could ride as well. I didn't think it was a good idea even if the run was real...

Re: Newer and improvedier!
"Any driver other than a Student/Novice with a passenger during official competition runs will have that run and any subsequent official runs marked as DNF" So unless you are a new driver and/or new to the sport, any competition run with a passenger results in a DNF for all your runs. Tha...

Re: Newer and improvedier!
So student/novice drivers are allowed passengers during competitions. an extra 180 lbs in the passenger side could be a good thing.

Re: Newer and improvedier!
What are your rules on passengers? Can one green driver have a green passenger in the car, if he is signed up and gone through tech? I've been slowly getting my brother involved in Motorsport, and I'm ready to try to set the hook with Solo2 events. He has never been to an autocross event, I've only ...

Re: Newer and improvedier!
I would! But I'm out of town, I work offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. I'm only in CA for 5 days in march, and 2 of those days are going to be at el toro.

Newer and improvedier!
Hey Guys and Gals, I ran with your club 2 years ago. It was my first track day experience, and I was confused. But after that I learned that for beginners, all you have to do is show up with a car that works and a helmet. and money. And all that other nice-to-have stuff. Anyway, I was watching an ep...

Re: I green as a bell pepper
I was at the test and tune on saturday, just getting my feet wet. I was planning on going to sundays competitions, but I discovered a brake issue that kept me from going. Apparently the car had brakes on only 3 wheels. Boo hoo. But looking at the times for my class, I would have been an amusing plac...

Thats a feature, not a flaw.
So what happened? I did make it out there as many of you know, and the day started off with unbridled disaster. Catastrophe. Just about a block away from the track I could hear what was sure to be my battery hold down clip exiting the vehicle. If I didn’t have a legal battery hold down clip, I would...

Re: I green as a bell pepper
Right! If I say Merchant Marine, they think I’m in the Marine Corps. If I’m a Sailor, its Navy. If I’m a Tankerman, I'm in the Army. If I’m a Pilot I’m in the Air Force. I’m looking for a job description that doesn’t require a disclaimer. I think I’m going to try “I work off shore.” next and if that...

Re: I green as a bell pepper
I believe my SFCs are attached by three welds and a seat mount. I think I'm fit into the rules posted above otherwise though. But 4 connections, that puts me in a different box. I'll have to take a looksee, maybe knock a weld off, or something. While I agree and echo “Support our troops!” I have to ...

The Stars have aligned.
Well, it looks like the stars have aligned and I'll finally finally be in town and available for one of the events posted on the event Calendar. I plan on attending the Feb 25-26 event at the AAA speedway. I think I can pay the temporary SCCA membership at the track, but I will have to mail in payme...

Re: I green as a bell pepper
Hey guys thanks so much for responding to my questions! Thanks for clearing the organization structure up. Once I get back on land I'll send in my SCCA membership application. After that I need to register for an event and arrive? When does registration typically open for a weekend event? I'll just ...

I green as a bell pepper
Hello Cone Bangers! After years of dreaming and planning I have finally decided to take the plunge and get involved in official autosports. Although my car of choice has more disadvantages than advantages as far as handling I plan on starting with Solo2. Before I learned about Autocross I was intere...
