Dave said he would be extremely mad at me if I didn't make a novice school. Bummer the April is full, I will have to sign up for June.

Maybe the sentra will like auto-x if I can't get the new project going by then

Matt D. · 03-28-2008

Dave who, anyone I know?

The April school filled up in less than 2 days, I plan on going since I only have 4 events under my belt. Aside from a test and tune day it is the most seat time you will get for your money, plus there are instructors there for nothing else but to help you drive better.

**Kracka** · 03-28-2008

I think I will do the June school.

I just signed up for the June school. I decided I'm going to try autocrossing this year at least a few times. Should be fun!

speaking of schooling and june, I just signed up for my MSF/BRC testing for bike safety

Changed my mind on the vette

For people wanting to sign up for the novice school and all the MAC events they can be found here:
http://www.myautoevents.com/pls/mae/...text=minnesota

Keep in mind that MAC runs events in conjunction with other groups so they aren't listed there, but a link to signups is usually listed on the forum at www.mnautox.com and they're always through myautoevents.com.

Found this video of 8-time national champion Mark Daddio in his Evo from last year's Pro Solo event in DC:

If you think that's still slow, imagine yourself in the car, it's fast. The course is a little short, but that is a fast course.

I don't know his exact setup but I remember FP green, AEM and everything else you can imagine. At one point he was running 18x10s up front and 17x8.5s in the rear to help the car turn.

MustGoFaster · 04-22-2008

Looks like I maybe at the novice school this weekend, there is a guy that wants to trade.

**Kracka** · 04-22-2008

I'll be at the novice school in June.

MustGoFaster · 04-28-2008

I ended up in the April novice school by trading with a guy. I had a great time and learned quite a bit. Anybody that hasn't tried AutoX should, it's a great challenge and you learn a lot. And you don't have to go to a novice school to start.

Matt D. · 04-29-2008

Updated the schedule.

The Porsche Club of America/Corvettes of Minnesota autocross still has spots left. These events are known to have faster courses than what is normally ran by MAC. Hope to you all there!

Matt D. · 05-01-2008

MOWOG 3 registration open.

MustGoFaster · 05-01-2008

I signed up for the MOWOG 3 and PCA events. Nice that they happen on sunday.

DSM_421 · 05-01-2008

Damn I really want to do this, anything open in June, July, or August? As far as driving school and auto x are concerned. Would prefer to do this with a healed leg

Yep, gotta act fast. MOWOG 1 and 2 had room for 160 entries each, they both filled up on within 4 days. Look at the date(s) you want to run and prepare for the registration to open 30 days prior.
