Subject: DML: Autocross on SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!!!
| Alright all you SoCal Dakota guys time to grab your helmets and head to
the
| track....er...the parking lot of the track.
|
| This Sunday May 7th, the Los Angeles Region of the SCCA is holding their
| May points race (solo2 autocross) in the parking lot at Hollywood Park.
| Gary Pinkley does this regularly and kicks a*s in his V6!
|
| There is a Sport Truck class for us to run in. The courses are about 1
| mile long and provide plenty of thrills. The cost for nonmember racers
is
| $25, spectators are free. You'll probably make three runs. Our truck
| class is first out at 9am. You'll have to work chasing pylons for other
| classes at approximately 11am. So you'll be out of there a little after
| noon. The place opens at 7:30am so you can tech your truck, park, and
walk
| the course before we run at 9am.
|
| A street vehicle in decent working order is all you need. My wife will
be
| running her new Intrepid, my buddy will do his MCoupe, and a former
student
| of mine is renting a V6 Mustang from Budget! Your trucks must not be
| lifted. Stock 4x4's maybe too high. The safety rule is that the bottom
of
| the drivers door may not be more than 17 inches above the ground. My
stock
| SLT+ was 15.5inches. All you R/T and Hotchkis guys all say my truck
looks
| like a 4x4 next to yours so you'll be fine. They require a Snell M85 or
| higher helmet.
|
| Check out http://www.solo2.com/ for more info (follow events link to May
| 7th).
|
| You're welcome to ask me questions I'm still a newbie, but I've done it
| once and checked it out pretty thoroughly. Let me know if you're going
to
| come out for it, its pretty high on the adrenaline scale! For $25, you
can
| take your car to the extreme limits in a safe environment.
