Laguna Seca's paddock isn't exactly an ideal autocross site, but I try my best to offer as much as I can. When I design courses, I try to utilize as much as the space as I can. I try offering a variety of elements that will cater to all skill levels. Yes to the short part. Yes to the slow part. Limitations of site. Yes to it not being timed. Yes to it being run at the same time as the track sessions. I've headed a few of these events with SpeedSF and have gotten generally positive feedback. People seem to have a lot of fun. They seem to get in a lot of runs. And we do get a few people who go at it all day until we have to kick them out. |

For test and tune, AAS has a separate test and tune course when they host at Crows Landing. That's about a 30 sec course. Unlimited runs but you pick up your owns cones. And it's an extra cost on top of the event cost. Still good value since AAS does not have membership fees. The last Crows Landing event this year will be October 24-25th. It will be a who's who event since it will be the last this year and it will be a blast. You will see a lot of talented drivers there! Next Lotus Club Event is in September 20th and if you're interested you should sign up soon because they have limited drivers. Here a list of events for the rest of the year... http://www.baautox.com/forum/index.p...&start=0&rid=0 SCCA also has a non-competitive "slush" season. You can expect some extra fun runs. http://www.baautox.com/forum/index.p...&start=0&rid=0 |

BMWCCA is also good. I recently did a test & tune event with them at Marina Airport. It was unlimited runs and they had a short 40-50s course set up alongside a figure-8/skid-pad.

BMWCCA gives better sandwiches than Lotus Club's pedophile sandwiches. (TOO SOON?)

Thanks for the recommendations! I signed-up for the Lotus club one on 9/20, if anyone else on here is attending. I'll have to look into the BMWCCA ones.
Still looking for people interested in renting the skid pad with me, so please PM me if interested! I'm really looking to understand how/when my BRZ rotates and how to manage it. |

I didn't have "issues" with rotation in my M3 or Cayman S, it seems to be a new "problem" for me in the BRZ...I'm honestly terrified of the BRZ as it's so light and easily rotates...spun on track (traction and stability was off, didn't settle the car after a turn, too fast into a turn, lifted) and went spinning (again) into an off-road adventure (needed to tap the brake to settle the car, need to be slower in, more throttle coming out of the turn). I think I was trying to compensate for HP by not braking adequately and trying to carry too much speed? I think the BRZ will teach me a lot about driving and how to leverage momentum properly. I took 2+ years off from the track/autox, so I'm very rusty and humbled -- re-learning things, new track, and the BRZ. I signed-up for 3 track days (requested coach for the next one) and the upcoming GGLC autox. I will sign-up for the Evo School (Phase 1 and 2?) if you think it will be beneficial! |

I had the chance to take it all but came just short. After reviewing my video, I probably left at least a tenth in total just from 3-4 spots. Here are the official runs, not quite happy with the west course run but was an improvement from the first by a tenth, that I thought I drove better.

Sorry if I didn't get to say hi to everyone who attended Sunday's autox event with Golden Gate Lotus Club. Here's my fastest run of 44.168. It was a really good event. There were more 86s than actual Lotus cars. We had some BBQ for lunch and I even won a raffle for a track day! Last edited by doggieboy09; 09-21-2015 at 01:49 AM. |
