I met Wanyo (the Black Trans Am pics from another thread) SCCAing this year.
It was the first event for both of us. But that is about all I know in the local races. Trackbird helped me with my front LS1 brake swap. I need to do more SCCA's but I need suspension and tires to make it worth while. |

Not many folks from the south? I know that Steve Brueck is from my area but I have yet had a chance to meet him. I will hopefully be doing a some stuff at Talladega GPR, Road Atlanta and possibly Roebling Road.

I don't see any members here routinely. Though I have met Mike (94bird), Mike (PFlyer), Aaron (35th_Anniversary_AS_Camaro_SS) and Sam Strano a few times each. There are a few local f-body autox'ers that I see alot, but they aren't the "Internet user" type of personality.

I was looking to do OT when Mitch and Chuck(98_1Le) sort of found me over at CamaroZ28.com a few years back.....and the next thing you know I had several new friends from the DFW area. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I haven't done as much OT this year as I would like, but I started the whole dirt track racing thing this year and there just isn't the funds or time to do both. But I think most of us are scheduled to do a November event together. |

Anyone from Chicago area? There's like a million f-bodies around here, but they all drag, so to get someone to go a HPDE event is a major hustle. There's a Gingerman event on June 9th and I am going, but it's more fun with few other people that you can learn from.
SVT cobra club seems to have great turnouts for their HPDE, but that's the only club I've seen that can consistently pack the track. I went with them once in my Supra. Someone asked me if it's rear engine (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) c'mon Chicago people, let's go to Gingerman, don't tell me I'm on the only one in here!

Unfortunately, no one else from this board is in my area. There are several Fbody's that autoX locally, but none seem to frequent this board.

Folks, please post your GTGs, GTG ideas and events in that forum so folks will have an easy time seeing what is coming up in their area. Thanks!
Randy, I will have to run up to Thunderhill or Sears to catch you at an SCCA event sometime! You are certainly welcome to attend a CMC event and hang with us! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Marcin do you know Bob Anderson or Brian Regganie?
They are both fast F-body autoxers in your area. There are usually a few good/nice guys in ESP in F-bodies at chicago region events. |

Do you know if they're on this board, or if they're interested in opentracking at all? Either way, if anyone wants to track or just hang out, 'bushmannt' is the AIM screenname, I'm on pretty much all the time. thanks for the contacts, Marcin |

I've been accused of "knowing everybody," but this thread shows that's not true! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Obviously, I autocross regularly, but probably the one guy I see all the time would be Pat Griffith (patred), for obvious reasons. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) I've also autocrossed many times with Strano, and in the past year have met up with Steve, Lonnie, Morgan, and Aaron. I'm sure there are probably some lurkers here that I know, but they'll need to speak up first. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Karen |

The AI West folk have been talking recently about going to the August 21-22 Mid-Ohio event, but so far I think I'm the only one seriously considering it. I was going to go with my car, #29, and share it with Nick Steel, (whoa, scary man) but he's busy that weekend with work.
How many of you dudes and ladies will be there? Christine |

Marcin, or you could go to Gingerman the following weekend with NASA's HPDE group and meet KeithO. I'll be there for one day, but without my car. I believe Eric Vickerman will also be there with his Dad and their AIX Z28. I believe the weekend would be about the same price as the track day you're advertising also. |

I know a couple poeple from the board. I think the first person I met was Glenn at a Hooter GTG right after I bought the '98. He was in the process of installing a nitrous kit. Next would have been Mitch at an autox. He later invited me to MSR for a happy hour he was organizing. Later that year he and I attended a BMW club DE. I met Mike Patterson that weekend. Later I met James (AllZWay), those Gigliotti boys, Andrew (bowtieboy), Nick, Josh (prockbp), and probably a few I am forgetting that post here.

Never done anything with NASA people so I'm clueless, sorry. Do they take newbs? Thanks for all the info, this just might work out better than I thought, I just hope my car can take 2 events in 2 weekends (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Christine Christine, I may be able to crew, or even scare up a couple person crew for you if you make the event. I crew chief for an AIX car when I have time (www.darkhorseracing.com) and a friend crews with me for that team. If we are both free (he is moving to new york) and he is still in town, I may be able to come help you prep. If you are going, let me know when we get closer and I'll check my schedule. Kevin |

Do they take newbs? Yep, there are 4 classes of HPDE for various driver experience levels. Check out http://www.racenasa.com for details. I would bet there are spots open for the HPDEs. BTW, for other events in this area, try http://planet-torque.com/sche.php?tracktype=track . The guy maintains lists of a large number of clubs that hold track days and races. |
