Winchester Autocross - 11/6 GWS-MBCA
#1
Mercedes-Benz Club of America is hosting their final autocross of the season. It will be this Sunday in Winchester, VA at James Wood High School, just an hour north of Harrisonburg. Cost for non-members is $35 and we should be looking at between 6-8 runs per driver.

Here is a link to the event:

I will be there, I know Jake will be bringing his new whip, Ryan Allen is coming whether he realizes it or not yet. Come on out!

Yessss. Can't wait to annihilate whatever all-season tires the P.O. put on my car.

Or maybe I'll stuff the Apexes from the E36 under it. Will a 17" wheel fit? Will I have enough motivation? Doubtful.

This weekend.

The 13th is Fall Finale and Refrigerator Bowl at Summit Point.

Couple details for this Sunday - my friend Aaron is helping run the event and said there's space for whoever wants to come. $35, no pre-registration so just bring cash on-site. Show up around 8 AM and we'll rip around a parking lot for part of the day.

Fun Fact: American Dad is set in NOVA. They live in "Langley Falls" which is a mix of Langley, VA where the CIA headquarters is, and Great Falls where our C&C is.

Family guy is James Woods, like the actor.

Winchester is James Wood, a continental army officer during the American Revolution.

James is the only current student going I believe, and he won't be in town Saturday night. It's probably up to you to get there.

Right down the road from me, it's a good sized lot. Been there a couple times with Capital Driving Club and it's always been good. I'll hopefully make it over, I'll have to blow off a kids morning game but oh well. Speaking of which - what are the typical age restrictions for passengers at something like an autocross?

Pretty sure I've seen the die-hard Benz freaks run SEC's and ML's so the Monte would at least put up a good fight.

I asked my friend Aaron and he said for this event, no age restriction - just have to have you sign the parental consent waiver.
