not to be off topic but in a few weeks in TX i might be going to the motor speedway or something to go around the track. it only cost like $25 for 3 laps. I bet DiRn would know

Im kind of tired of driving in a straight line , would love to take some corners at high speed - thats what the Z was made for..
well if you go - good luck , kick some a$$..

BeaveRun <---click here for website. It's in the Pittsburgh area though, about 7 1/2 hours from Long island (only reference point to which I have driven to in NYC from here) I will be going in September for open lapping day.

Here is Summit Point info (WV) should be closer than pgh

Summit Point

What about Watkins Glen? Can you go out there for a day at the track?
Here is the events calendar for Watkins Glen looks like there are many instructional events (skip barbar school) and SCAA events there. That is probably closer to you than here also...

The Watkins Glen link goes to the homepage but just look for events calendar.

thanks , those are kind of far away from me... I'll look into them if they're the closest to me..

<span style="color:darkblue">You may be stuck with Watkins Glen. You may want to check the SCCA Solo2 schedule. There are a sh!tload of regions that AutoX all over the place</span>

There are also autocross events held at the meadowlands. Specifically in the parking lots for Giants stadium. I have autocrossed there a few times with the porsche autocross club of northern new jersey (NNJR PCA). I know that there are a few other autocross groups running in NJ you should check out http://www.autox4u.com/ , its a great source of information. Maybe I will see you out there sometime.

Dude I was drivin to Roosavelt Field one day, and I saw an autocross event happening right by the horse track (Im blanking on the name), its like near Eisenhower Park... ahhh well whatever, the point is I didnt figure out what the deal was with it cause I was in my friend's car.

It would have taken too long for me to go back home, get the Z, etc. Plus it was too hot out to do that to a car lol

 

[LBSOHK]

is there a track ? or just cones + parking lot ?

 

[afr0puff]

Autocross is usually a parking lot with cones. I've gone to meadowlands, Nassau Coliseum, and Orchard Beach in the Bronx. Those are the closest ones around here.

Cool to see you've really gotten into the AutoX thing afr0!

Cones in the parking lot of BELMONT Racetrack (I knew the name would come back to me).

Never saw it there again. Must have been a club thing.

Maybe the jockeys got tired of riding the horses, and decided to drive for the day

Yeah man! Thanks a ton for the links and info you gave me before. Never knew how close they were to my location.

 

[DiRN]

Yeah, they go on a lot more than you'd expect. Unfortunately, I haven't been back to one since before I talked to you about it months ago. Hopefully I'll get more time next year
