Its just that I've never done this before & have some fears of commiting to something I have no experience ever even watching.

Obviously I'm hoping he'll instantly be hooked and will do the rest of the weekend also ...

I suspect I will & thats sorta what I fear.

I'm doing the whole off road racing addiction thing right now & the rock crawling/Mud Bogging thing, & to think that I'm about to add a 3rd addiction to maintain my bank account in double digits sort of scares me a wee bit.

Its Completely stock, with the expected were & tear that comes with it.
& thats what worries me..
I'll get hooked & start rebuilding the car for the best performance.

Umm, I'll let Jayson make the call, but as Asst. Chair for this event, for what that's worth as Jay's doing all the work, I'd be VERY opposed, unless we're real low on numbers, for the Test n' Tune to be for ANYONE that's not in the event.

It's inherent in the name: Test n' Tune - what are you testing and tuning for? THE EVENT!

My $0.03 worth.

A divisional is really a mini National Tour; it's NOTa great place to check it out and see if you like it by just doing the T n' T for the competitors. Or, go ahead and register for the event and jump in the deep end - my first time in an autocross was the 2nd day of a Divisional @ Hollywood Park

EDIT: I see Jay already commented; so be it!

Best to register and run. Why not? Man up.

And yeah.. since we are not sure about legality... run in CSM.

Heck, I dont even know if I'll pass tech.

Im sure you guys might feel the same way if you were thinking about entering an Off Road race & or maybe a Rock crawling comp huh?

I'm bringing my helmet, so dont count me out yet.
I did'nt mean to offend anyone with my honesty.

Sure, you have to start somewhere.

The difference is, an autocross is not as scary because it is a lot lowerkey and full of helpful people. Trust me. Its not that big of a deal. I would be very happy to help you out in any way I can. I am sure many others feel the same way.

More money for my trophy!!!

Cool.

I don't mind if a couple of people do it, I just wouldn't want to see a bunch doing only the test n tune. I doubt it'll be a problem.

If I can find a short term volunteer to play the PS3 in the Trailer Mahal (with a 4 yo), I'd be glad to give Cam a wild ride in a gay ricer. }:)

My 1st AutoCross Test day!
----------------------------------------------------------
Just thought I'd share a few pics I took today.
This is a repost from what I posted on my Web Site.
----------------------------------------------------------

I've always wanted to try out AutoCross racing & today was my 1st attempt at it!
& I must say Its completely

I've gotta get some of you into this!

This is something I've wanted to do since I was a Teenager.
Well..... here the very few Pics I took today..
I went alone, so getting any pics of my in my Stang was hard to get.

& YES! I did Run the course a total of 8 times!
Its was incrediable pushing my stang to my own & its maximum abilities.

Heres the Pics..

Heres the sticker you get after passing tech.


& heres a few Pics of the surounding action that takes place as you go to an event.
unfortunitly My POS camera failed me again, :rolleyes:
So my pics are very limited.

Here they start to line up.


& this is the race course...

& I must admit I got lost on my 1st try into the course.

Theres alot of really fast cars & not so fast cars.
& heres a few examples of them.












I think I plan to get this set up, for the stang & so I can bring my race tires to & from.
with out wearing them out.
