NHMS FT86 Autocross - Sep. 8, 2013
 

Ladies and gents,

After weeks of trying to rent NH Motor Speedway, I have succeeded. On Sept. 8th, we will partner with SCCNH for this event. They will have their own cars and will have ours and we will all participate together. According to what we discussed we them, they will also create a GT86 class for the day so we could all compete against each other.

The plus side is that you would only have to pay normal registration fees for an autocross, which is $40 each, as opposed to splitting the entire cost of the event, which would be much more. All paperwork, insurance, lot rental and ambulance fees would already be taken care of. All you would have to do is arrive, drive and do your single work assignment on the course.

They only request that we preregister and pay online for the event so we can have a fairly accurate head count. Registration closes 2 days before the event, so even last minute additions are no problem. Details on payment will be addressed on days to come.

If you have any questions how this will go, just post them here and I will have one of the directors join the conversation if I cant answer the question. Thank you in advance. Drive safe.

Couple of questions:

Just sign up through motorsportreg, correct?

Any idea what lot will be used?

Thanks

Yes throug their website but not now, we can start signing up in a week from now once they finalize everything. We will mainly use the big s1 lot and other ones I believe for competing against each other

Hey guys, I'm Dave Estey, SCCNH autocross director. I'm excited to have you guys join us as we have a handful for FR-S/BRZ racers already and they've proven to be quite quick.

We will be in the S1 lot. I'm shooting for 8 runs on the day. Registration will be through our Motorsportsreg.com page, which simplifies everything.

As noted, I have created an FT86 class, which will allow you to compete against each other. We will use SCCA pax to equalize modifications. If you have questions on classing let me know, it's seems harder than it is.

Again, if you have any questions about the event or our autocross program, let me know. To give you an idea of some of our courses I'll attach some videos.

Dave, are you guys doing anything with RTR classes?

I'm with CMC over in Maine and I've been running RTR-CS.

@mtimney has raced with us several times now, so he can chime in regarding how our events flow.

Also, if anybody is interested, we're running an Autocross 101 school on August 24th.

This will be fun. Are passengers allowed?

Novices are restricted from having passengers other than an instructor. More experienced drivers will be decided on a case-by-case basis based on morning runs. We don't want this to turn into a joy ride day.

I'll try and make it to this one; the Cars and Copters show is the following Sunday, so I don't know if I can swing both Sundays off. Racing is always better than shows, but I always go to this show!

I think I may actually try to go to that this year.

It's epic. I got a lot of attention with my AW11 MR2 last year:

Which is sadly in no state to show or autocross this year :cry:
