NASA Autocross at VMP January 23

[Sully]

First Autocross posted for NASA Mid-Atlantic.
It will be Sunday January 23rd at Virginia Motorsports park.
Pre-registration is open and 56 spots open as of now.
These autocrosses fill up fast (Maybe not in the cold) and this was an awesome course last time.
This is a Very Big Lot.

BTW: Virginia Motorsports Park is near Petersburg, VA or maybe 30min south of Richmond.



(Sorry Jake, figured you would post this when you got a chance but thought I'd help out)

Wow, someone's on his A Game... thanks Matt :thumbup:

Dang. This'un will be colddddd. I gotta think about how much I value my outer extremities before confirming this one.

I will be there obviously, probably in the STi.

Probably will be there as well- depending on JMU sports schedule

[Sully]

I'm going to try and be there if there are other MMers going. I'll just be playing around with the camera though as I think the 240 will be getting a new trunk put in it at that time.

This one is about half full now. Pre-reg price is way cheaper than day-of price, just fyi. :thumbup:

[D_Eclipse9916]

Im about as retarded as a rock, almost forgot to sign up even tho I knew 100% I was going. Signed up now

Jon, if I were to somehow get my car together (hoping my diff comes in time), could I switch to NASAX-C from what I signed up from (WRX STi in NASA-XB?)

If its a pain I could just run in NASA-XB

[D_Eclipse9916]

And *cough* entry list this weekend?

[getfast]

No problem on the possible switch, just let me know (in advance) or let registration know (day-of.)

Entry list = coming soon. Maybe even today. :lol:

:O Looks like I really need to get the M3 running. Lots of people in NXC.... in NXB looks like theres only one other person besides my codriver and I!

Last call for pre-registrations, with 48 of 60 spots currently filled I'm planning to shut it down after 2 more.

10+ spots will be available that day for walk-up registrations, but you won't get the early registration discount ($30mem/$35non in advance, $40mem/$50non day-of.)

Thanks and see y'all at VMP next weekend!

[getfast]

Ok this is gonna be a 75-car event after all, with the pre-reg shut off at 60 (not 50 as previously stated.) 5 pre-reg spots left!

[D_Eclipse9916]

Anyone in MM doing this event? Wondering if anyone from Northern Virginia is going so I can get a ride back after the autocross?

[D_Eclipse9916]

Videos will be hopefully up soon and maybe a few photos. Great job to Lincoln when I rode along with him, seems like hes got a great set of basis for autocross driving techniques, now just needs to improve on not hitting things

I know Matt was out there, did you ever get a co-drive in someones car? I know it sucks to not be able to run, trust me, ive had it happen before. But that was rather nasty tire and if it blew out it could have easily damaged more than the tire, especially in this autocross where I was bouncing off of third gear!

[Sully]

Nope, I pretty much paid NASA $50 to work the course but, hey what can ya do...and yea I agree about the tire, that's why I thought id play it safe and called u over for a second opinion.

I have a few shots of wampler showing us what an sti is made for though...(rally-car)

Yeah Wampler definitely showed us he liked rallycross. I was really nervous to drive the car after Justin hit a timing box with the car, then Wampler goes agricultural in an autocross, and then I was last to go with a disintegrating chunking front right tire. Didnt help that Felton went "well all you guys have left to do is hit a light pole or something..."

[getfast]

My little pep talk worked though, didn't it? :lol:
