[protouring70]

This place was recently sold and it looks like they are trying to get the interest of our group. Check it out!!! It looks like it will be pretty fun.

I guess I had that coming! I have 2 issues: 1 is that I don't have the car yet (deal is in the works as we speak) and 2 is that I've never done an autocross before. I will be watching and learning if I go. I'm sure you guys can teach me a whole lot.

More to come on the new ride - it's a car from this site so I'll wait for the deal to be final before letting you know which car it is.

[protouring70]

Cool I can't wait!

Everyone has their first time autocrossing, till then your just a spectator! If you go, and have your car, drive it! You won't be disappointed, it's a ton of fun.

Robert

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

as long as you have the car..

and the car runs well enough to drive on the street..

you SHOULD take it out on the Autox


AT LEAST ONCE.. THE CAR WILL MAKE IT ONE ROUND!!

it doesnt matter how well you do, or how well the car does.. its the chops you have to get out there at that starting line.

[musclecarmatt]

alright marked on the calender....i planning on going...!

[protouring70]

OK I spoke with Pat from YearOne today. And I told him that we may have some people coming to enjoy their event. I did ask about the layout and it seem that the autocross may be set up like a Goodguy's event. So the track won't be as large as our normal but it will still be very fun. And also he told me that the BURNOUT contest will be a freestyle exabition. So you won't be just setting still.....you have to keep the car moving!!!!!!! Sounds like a DRIFTING event?? So hopefully this event will grow.

Oh by the way, he could not believe how quick our group has grown. He was very excited for us!!!!!!!!!

sweeeet!!!

[1981silverz28]

Brent, I got my calender marked and may have 3 others 1st timers with me ( gota get them hooked somehow). the freestyle burnouts sound very cool . Can I borrow your BMW wheels to put on my Z so I can enter the burnout comp ?:bananna2:

[damannhw]

This sounds good, I might try to make it over since it's not too far away. I don't see anywhere on their website that we have to register for the auto-x, so I assume no registration required unless you are doing the swap meet ?

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

yea i didnt see that either..

[protouring70]

I didn't either. I will see what I can do.

[SparkyRnD]

I may have to sneak away and go to this!

[GeoffP]

Edit - this is the Saturday before my anniversary so I won't be anywhere near Jefferson, Ga that weekend.

[musclecarmatt]

soo any details as to we need to regrister?...or do we just show up and regrister at the autocross?.....i'm taking autocross runs with the car show 9-5?

[damannhw]

I emailed them, but no reply with any details yet. I don't really wanna drive all the way down until I know more about it. Will keep you posted if I hear anything.

[damannhw]

OK, spoke w/ Pat @ YearOne and here's what he knows so far:

The course will be a beginner friendly / entry level style track (short & tight) on the infield of the short track.
Drivers will pay $5 admission to the car show, then an additional $15-$20 for (2) laps on the auto-x.
Auto-X will run from approximately 11-4.
If you want more than 2 laps, you pay again.
Timing will be done via transponders.
Helmets will probably NOT be required since it's a tight/slow course.

Hope this helps some ! I think I'll pass on this one. **EDIT**

[RS_Customs]

Thanks for getting the info David. I probably won't run the go-kart in that one, but I will at least try to come and hang out.

Robert

[musclecarmatt]

hmmmmm...soo it you wanna run 4 laps it be $40...yikes!

[protouring70]

Yea sorry guys. I heard this too. Look like i will be watching.

[1981silverz28]

That's a bit pricey for me also. I will be there and do a couple laps and then be a spectator. It will be a great time for friends and BS tho.

[musclecarmatt]

mite do couple laps also and just spectate...heck get meet some you guys and hangout..been good test run for my car anyways lol....

[chuckd71]

At LSFest didn't people just run laps dawn til dusk? I was going to come check this out but the $20/ 2 laps thing seems pretty $$$.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

daaamn.. 4 laps ONLY?

40 bones i dont have a problem with but thats corny...

[chuckd71]

Taking another look at it it says "Autocross: $10.00 for 3 laps". That works.

[damannhw]

Taking another look at it it says "Autocross: $10.00 for 3 laps". That works.

That's much better than what they were initially planning on charging ! But still, keep in mind that the track will be VERY beginner friendly. Don't expect any speeds over 30-35 mph tops. I was told the goal is to keep the track speeds low so the people who have never autocrossed will get out and try it. Nothing wrong with that, just be aware that it won't be like PSMC or RTT- events.

[chuckd71]

I've never done it before so that should be fine. Was thinking about doing this though (assuming I can get the car together that is) - https://www.pro-touring.com/content.php?149-Get-Started-Racing%E2%80%9D-Autocross-School

thats better.....good to know!

[protouring70]

Oh wow! That is better. I hope to be going to Miloton's Friday night for a event that Year One is hosting. I will let Pat know that the price is looking alot better and hopefully this will draw some more interest!!!. I do know this, they are having tuff times but it is better to sell a lot and make a little than to sell a little and make a lot!!!!!!
I will be there to watch, I just don't have anything to race!!! It's killing me.....I have to have something next year!!

[1981silverz28]

That's a much better price . I think they will get more people participating for their 1st time when the price is lower. I'm getting excited already

[71duster]

i am going to try to make this. not sure about which car,duster or camaro though. if i have both of them going we will bring both. i want to see what the camaro feels like beating on it,oh wait,i already have! i have the rear out of the duster for some "freshing up",so hopefully it will be done in time.

[71duster]

That's a much better price . I think they will get more people participating for their 1st time when the price is lower. I'm getting excited already

u get excited when the wind blows! or when you ride in my duster,whichever.

[musclecarmatt]

should we make a list of who's going for this thing?....only 2 weeks away lol...:smoke:

[chuckd71]

If I can get my car together I'd like to go. Not sure it that will be possible or not.

[1981silverz28]

71duster , if your duster is SO exciting how come you bought a camaro ? LOL...

[1981silverz28]

Who is planning to go to this ?

[RS_Customs]

As long as some PT guys will be there I should be too! Probably won't have the go-cart, it still needs tires lol.

Robert

[1981silverz28]

I plan on being there and I may have 2 others with me (a 68 camaro and a 91 camaro)

[1981silverz28]

Who's going ??????????

[RS_Customs]

read above buddy ^ lol

Robert

[1981silverz28]

I know your going Robert but who else is going? You gona bring to go-cart?

[RS_Customs]

I know your going Robert but who else is going? You gona bring to go-cart?

Probably going to ride over with Riley in the rx7 if he decides to go too. The go-cart needs tires bad, lol.

Robert

[1981silverz28]

Robert , what time are ya'll going to be there?

[RS_Customs]

We should be showing up between 930 and 10.

Sere you guys there!

Robert

[protouring70]

Alright I will be there about lunch. I have to work Friday night till 4 am.

[SparkyRnD]

ya'll have a good time out there! We'll be hanging around, eating donuts and talking cars while you all are carving corners

[protouring70]

Hey I hate the timing of this. Hopefully next time we will all be there!! Thanks for getting it together!!

[protouring70]

Well for those of you that showed up, thanks I enjoyed seeing you. But for those of you that didn't come.....you didn't miss anything. I know right now it is hard times and it is hard to get things going and Year One tried but the turn out wan't that good and the autocross track was way to tight!!!!! If you had a car with any size you would have struggled.
But at least they are trying and a little participation is better than none. Maybe next year it will be better!!!

[SparkyRnD]

we had a good time at the meet & greet, but wondered how the autox turned out. Sounds like we didn't miss very much. Ya'll missed some good donuts and coffee, and some eye-candy that walked by the shop every 15 minutes going to the Taste of Acworth!
