Where: Arizona Motorsports Park 15402 W Camelback Rd

What?!

Autocross is a timed competition of driving skill. Here's an example video:

Autocross is very easy to get started with as a newbie, all you need is a car to drive. The club will even provide loaner helmets if you need one. Autocross is also challenging to compete in, one of those "easy to learn, difficult to master" things. It involves driving a course marked out in cones in the shortest time possible. Courses are generally designed to challenge the handling ability of the car (and the driver!) and not the straightline speed; it's typical to never be going straight in an autocross for more than a second or two. There are many different car and driver classifications, so don't feel like you'll be outgunned going up against a heavily-modified, purpose-built car.

You can register for any Arizona events (including Tucson and Sierra Vista) here: http://www.mindthecones.com/

Registration for Sunday's event is open until Friday at 6PM
Onsite registration should be available if you miss it. However, is it cheaper to pre-register online (pre-payment not required).

Information on classing:
A FRS/BRZ with no mods, or just cosmetic mods will be in the C-Street class. The following mods are also allowed in C-Street:

• Brake pad change
• Fluids changed
• Any wheels that are stock size
• Any tires
• Shock absorbers changed (springs must be stock)

Extra mods will generally put a car in the STX class. Some examples of mods allowed in STX are:

• Lowering springs
• Wheels up to 9" wide
• Coilovers
• Engine tune
• Intake
• Full exhaust
• Strut bar
• Sway bars
• Bucket seats
• Single suspension arm change (LCAs or UCAs)
• Other stuff...

Please PM me if you have any questions regarding mods. They're also listed in the SOLO Rules handbook, but it's not exactly light reading.


That being said, autocross is not about the mods! It's about the driver! Developing good driving skill will get you further than any mods to the car. (And it's a lot cheaper)


So come on out and have a good time with us! The entire autocross club is very novice-friendly. Instructors are also generally available to ride with along and offer some pointers if desired. And folks love to give ride-alongs during afternoon runs to show off. So don't hesitate to approach someone who looks fast and strike up a conversation.


More event info can be found here: http://www.azsolo.com/backup/index.php/events-info/177

Just throwing this out there again in case anyone missed it. Its this coming Sunday and I believe registration is still open.

Just met Peter for the wrong reasons. Caught the service tech taking my FRS for a very spirited test drive. Not happy.

Has to be installed at the dealer.

Believe me, that would be my first choice.

This is the exact reason my car will never go to the dealership. Not to mention I have worked in dealerships/repair shops all my life so I know what goes on.

Exactly! This also is in the category with valet parking. Wouldn't want my car to end up like Ferris Bueller's day off

Thanks for the bump! We have ten or so twins registered so far.

Paging @SpyderMS @WithNolock @thesleeper @Pizzman @Knightsaber It's going to be a great event! Don't miss it!

Ugh, dealer said the price they gave me didn't include service charge.

$1300 for the TRD exhaust? Good god.

Better off with an ARK system for that kind of money.
