NW meet-n-greet

[Yukonart]

Yes. . . I start work around 4:00pm. Autocross starts around (well, first cars on the course) 9:00am for the morning session, which I always have to run because of my work schedule.

[Yukonart]

Well shit again. . . I'm actually running in the PM session because of my car classification.

Looks like I'll be telling Sean and Keith I'll be a tad late to work next Sunday afternoon.

i've only been to one before, but never ran, i'm just going to go up and watch. i'll get into it later when i get a little more skill

[Yukonart]

Nothing like running to build on that skill.

Seriously, though. . . . just observe what's going on and get a feel for it. After a while, things start to become familiar and you can concentrate more on driving when you DO participate.

[Project_Legacy]

yea i actually did wanna get into autocrossing also. mite have to wait for next year or so. so watching is free?? is it actually racing or jus ppl running for fun? do they run with other cars on the course also? lol a lot of questions... my bad. haha. so ur gonna be runnin art? sweet. i wanna see that STi. crazy stuff

[LaureltheQueen]

Autocross is divided into classes, so people can be competitive, unfortunately the legacy has a 2.2 turbo, and the cutoff for a class it would be competitive in is 2.0L, so we get hosed, running against corvettes and stuff. Your course times are compared against others in your class. The average course usually takes between 45 seconds and 75 seconds. Every "gate" that you miss adds 10 seconds onto your time, and every cone you hit penalizes you an additional 2 seconds. There are usually 3 cars on course at a time, they time them so when the 2nd car hits a certain point on the course, they que the next one to go. It's a ton of fun, though it doesn't look like i'll be able to afford it this time around

[Yukonart]

That's okay, Laurel. . . . . I want you to vidyatape my runs, anyway.

[LaureltheQueen]

i'll be the good girlfriend and bring refreshments

[Yukonart]

Just don't catch a ride with Tonia this time.

[Project_Legacy]

im for certain i wanna go.

[Project_Legacy]

uhh i was checkin out that site... is this autocross done in a big parkin lot wit a bunch of cones or somethin?? jus wonderin...

[LaureltheQueen]

yeap

[Project_Legacy]

oo ic. is there any Autocross tracks around here? i heard that SIR had one but i never went up there yet. are there any others in western WA??

[Yukonart]

Autocross in western Washington is typically held either in Everett (at Boeing Field) or in Bremerton (at the old airport).

[LaureltheQueen]

Pacific Raceways has a road course, but as far as i know, no autocross lot. Autocross is a good alternative to tracking a car, if there's even the slight possibility that something my break or over heat. Track is long and constant, making you likely to overheat your engine, brake rotors, or boil fluid,all bad news

[Project_Legacy]

wow ic. that would suck if that happened. yea wat i always wanted to do was "road course racing" i guess u could call it. lol. i want actual tracks ya kno? like in japan. JDM style yo! hahah. anyway i gotta go! see ya'lls sunday??? peyce

[jake15]

what time is everyone going to be there? i'm planning on getting there at around 9-10ish. which means i better go to sleep

edit: is this the address to the place? "3003 W Casino Rd, Everett, WA 98204-1910"

[Project_Legacy]
