I went to the http://www.nwautox.org site to find the NWAA rules and requirements but there doesn't seem to be any listed. I've never done any autocross, so not too familiar with the rules. Do I need to bring my own helmet or anything?

They told me there will be helmets there if you don't have one. I think pants may be required as well but not sure. Aside from that not much is required except a car that isn't leaking anything. Email the person listed on motorsportreg's website. That's what I did as I was wondering about the helmet thing as well since my lady is coming and doesn't have one.

I might go to the test and tune day if I sell off my stock wheels and tires (broke like a mofo right now)

are you guys spending the night on Friday night? What time are you planning on leaving Friday? I'm itching to go Auto-X now, even though my car might blow up lol. I may go install my oil cooler this week for this, so I can be a bit more on the safe side.

Also feel more comfortable driving out together, if my car decides to take a shit on the freeway.

So far Kohei is going to stay with me and my lady. There are 2 beds available (fight with Kohei over one) and a couch, plus plenty of floor space. Just bring a sleeping bag.

I'll either be leaving my house in Beaverton around 930pm Friday night if I have softball and if softball is rained out I will leave my house around 530-6pm.

Personal message me if you'd like to stay Friday night so I can give you the address and put you on the list of guests.

Thank you for staying on top of this event for the forum.

I will likely wake up early Saturday morning and drive up with a couple of other people who will attend the event. So if anyone is interested in going together the morning of the event leave a note here or send me PM. When preparing for the event, keep the following in mind:

1. The event will take place on an abandoned WWII airfield, so entering and exiting will occur only in the morning, lunch break and end of the session because we will need to cross secured Coast Guard facilities.

2. Bring a chair and refreshments.

3. Make sure you have a least 1/2 tank of gas, you will burn through a good portion of fuel.

4. Pray for sunny weather!

Looking forward to seeing you everyone who attends.

Jason!! Super excited to see your car (oh and you too lol)!

Lets see more 86's out there, and put those mods to the test. I'm definitely putting everything to a test, starting with the drive out to Astoria!

It's basically timed but no one keeps track for competition. Sunday is the competition day where you'll be ranked. Saturday is basically practice for the competition Sunday.

just got my new brake pads, changing brake fluids, installing oil cooler and a new front lip! Come at me bro.

I wish I could come out but will be at Drift Office updating the tune for race track. Jason had nothing but good things to say about this event last year.

Do the tune the weekend after so you can join us! The only reason I'm going is because Jason talked up the event and I have free lodging (as do all of us as I invited everyone in the club!)

Since I put on the new exhaust I've been throwing O2 sensor Codes so need to see what thats about and adjust the tune before driving hard.
