Meet/Autocross this fall in State College! - 08/08/06 03:01 PM
There are four events in September/October with Central PA SCCA. We can meet on/near campus with the PSU car club and drive to the event, autocross/BS all day, and then do dinner/drinks.
It's a great site for newbies because they take you on a low-speed drive-through and provide instruction, and they are good courses. It's also a good site to hang out because they have real bathrooms and concessions (great burgers!) and a place to sit inside if you want.
If you haven't autocrossed before, don't be scared. I can ride along with you in your car, and co-drives may be arranged in my car if you really can't/don't want to run your Contique. I will say that pretty much any Contique just needs the front tire pressures jacked up and loose items cleaned out of the interior to be ready to rock.
This is a very friendly, low-key region, so please don't come because you don't want to risk looking silly or slow. Contours tend to make everyone look like a hero anyway! Even if you really, really don't want to autocross, just come hang out. There are cool cars and national level drivers to watch, and we'll have fun after the event as well.
This is a fairly central location for NE region people - lets have a big event! Schedule now, make it part of another trip, bring a friend, drive to State College with other local CEGers, etc. There are PSU home games before the Sept 17 and Oct 1 dates if you're a fan.
Sept 10 and 17 and Oct 1 and 8th are the choices. Vote now! Post up as well about alternate dates, things you'd like to do, etc.
