Most definitely... I want to start in my Accord but oh my gosh the suspension is so soft . . . and I don't feel like putting in cash to fix it.

I will if i can get to a track.
The crappy one here in the city closed down and i'll have to travel elsewhere to find an adequate racetrack.

Not that that's a bad thing

track days only.

Autocross you have to work, and changing the wheels is already hefty work especially in the desert heat!

I want to pay to be able to enjoy...not pay, work and enjoy.

I usually do registration, or tech, or setup, etc to avoid chasing cones.

Since all there is here is the Autocross at Whitehouse, and a couple others in the Bucc Region of the SCCA. I'll say Yeah. I may make the trip to Roebling Rd to have some fun.
