I went to my first autocross this weekend with the Texas A&M Sports Car Club in College Station, TX.

I have a new favorite hobby now. That was, by far, the most fun I have had with my car since I bought it.

I had the club's autocross chairman ride with me for all of my timed runs to glean as much advice as I could.

What a blast. I can't wait to do it again.

Yeah, I do live in NW Houston and I rode with... crap, I'm so bad with names... he's the cochair for auto-x. Sam? Not Pranav. Long, curley haired guy. This guy drives a white Nissan 240. KoukiKA240sx is his TAMSCC name.

Is Mojave the 3rd gen that made all the other cars in SSM look slow? Or the 4th gen Formula that had motor troubles?

And, if my tires and wallet will support it, I'm planning on doing the next one in December here in Houston. What are the fees for that one? And is there a class for newbies or a class for cars with street tires?

Yeam, Sam is the guy with the 240sx. I was driving the 4th gen Formula that had problems. Apprently, my battery was on its last leg, and it died last night.

The black 3rd gen is Matt Miller. He is an old Tamscc club member, and, as you noticed, is pretty darn fast.
