Salem Autocross
 

I just signed up to start autocrossing anyone here doing it ? first one is march 24/25 at the fairgrounds. would like to see some people from here and talk cars also. I am with Willamette motor club great bunch of guys and gals http://www.wmclub.org/

I signed up for Saturday - mainly to get some more seat time. I'm mainly running BCA this year, but will dabble elsewhere as time allows. I'll see you there!

saw you there, nice car.

Generally the fairgrounds is brutal.

I have a green NA miata that I will probably run with WMC here and there (as long as there's no other autox going that day), but I usually avoid taking the BRZ to the fairgrounds and I have only taken it to McKay once.

Isn't McKay fairly sketchy? I heard there was a lot of curbs.

No venue is idiot-proof.

Use good judgement and don't try to be a hero is what I preach.

But yeah, there are definitely curb risks. Also why I prefer not to take anything but a miata there.

I've never actually run at the fairgrounds, and I'll tell you this - never again. So much loose gravel, terrible terrible consequences in some sections if you get loose and can't recover... that place is terrifying.

Yup. I've run the BRZ there maybe 3 times in ~2.5 years.

I take the miata because it's slower and cheaper to replace lol.
