Autocross Schedule for Maine (Cumberland Motor Club)
 

Hi all,

We have a great Autocross community up in Maine (http://www.cumberlandmotorclub.com). Low pressure, smaller venues than the likes of Devens, good guys and gals. There's also usually a smaller turnout than the big clubs so that == more runs. The club allows ride-alongs and offers instructors if you wish (loaner helmets available as well).

I know it conflicts with the Western, MA drive last week (sorry) but there's an event Sunday, July 8th in Portland. Most of the events are in the Portland area which is only a couple hours North of Boston. I'm planning on being there the 8th and am available for instructing. Here's the rest of the schedule: http://www.cumberlandmotorclub.com/AXSchedule

The FR-S / BRZ will run in stock trim in CS. CMC has a subclass called Tire for street tires (CS-T). This classing is becoming more popular so folks to have to go spend big $ on race tires (which for some silly reason ARE allowed in stock classes). On the national scene there's the new RTR class (road tire rwd... there's also RTF (fwd) and RTA (awd)). If you've already done some things like lowering / springs / intake / body kit you can run in STX

That's the short list anyway... for those who just want to show up and :burnrubber:

Hope to see you all at an event so you can really learn what your car will do and learn it in a safe controlled manner. This will be my first autocross with my new baby and a return to RWD for me so I'm really excited to see what it will do!

Post if you have any questions!
