I saw that Ryan made a post here a few years ago about their 2018 Autocross event. I have been participating at it these past two years and I am signed up again this year. There are about a dozen thirdgen f-bodys on the list and also a good handful of 4th gens. I know they have a facebook page, an actual webpage, and there is a post on www.thirdgen.org about it too. Curious to see who from this web-forum might be going since I think I have only met one of you guys in person.
https://www.umimotorsportspark.com/autocrosschallenge/ This is a fantastic event. No wonder it sells out in a matter of hours. Two days of autocross with lunch and dinner meals provided by UMI. Two years ago they had an open house at their UMI shop and everyone could walk around and see all the machines they use to build the products as well as their project cars and test mules. Covid didn't allow that this year, so instead they put on a kind of outdoor party at the racetrack which included a country singer/concert, activities for kids, food trucks, and I think fireworks too. Great people who run the event and awesome participants.

Who is signed up and what are ya bringing? - I will have the red 87 Iroc there looking like this with hopefully some much better tires: (IMG:https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50160380836_b67e34c412_c.jpg) |

what a fun event. I had major fuel injector issue to work out and I never got a suitable replacement that left me with reduced power, but I am glad I was able to salvage the weekend by putting down some laps. Actually, I am quite happy with the lap timers I put down. Lots of it has to be due to the new tires. I took a ton of photos and some videos too, but I have yet to get any time to upload any of that.
Great meeting a bunch of you fellas too! What a cool crowd and atmosphere. Great event overall! |
