Capital Driving Club Autox 8/7/2010

[D_Eclipse9916]

I have noticed some MMers have taken interest in some more Northern Virginia local autocrosses while they are on summer break, and those that have graduated and are moving up to NOVA. I know Jake, Mike D, and Mike Price have made it out to one or two, and Goodspeed, Kyle Cookmeyer, Dean Hickerson, and I are members. Membership for an entire year (from whne you pay), is $35, but allows you to only pay $25 for each event. This includes 6-8 runs depending on turnout (we typically do 7-8).

They have done 8-9 events so far and there are another 7 autox, 2 more test and tunes, and a road rally left just this year, so plenty of action. I enjoy this club and they run a different pax, based on weight/hp/tire for their "drivers championship", they also have a "small bore" championship. I am competing for the drivers and of course try my hardest to make every event. (they do allow you to drop 6 of the worst/missed events for points).

They run at typically three lots: Hylton High School in Woodbridge, Bowie, MD, and James Woods High School in Winchester VA. This weekend is Winchester, VA. Dean, Kyle, and I will be 100% there this weekend so join us! PS-They typically get preliminary results up within that night or the next morning, no waiting!

Looks like a really cool grouping of cars, wanted to run with them this weekend but the event's on a Saturday and I'm on overtime at work so no dice for me. Totally recommend it to anyone else!

Hmm...my boys showed up for my last 3 runs. After the second run, they came over and one summed up my day in one question "Daddy, are you supposed to do donuts?"

Good times though, thanks for tire help and tips DJ.
