Originally posted by djayhawk: Hi Everyone, I am kind of new here. When is the next Event in KC. I went to the Auto X event at Arrow Head and had a blast. I did not race though. I did not want to embarrass myself...I would just like to get more involved with the fun people around here. Thanks, Dave.
Don't let that bother you--I embarass myself every week but I'm having so much fun burning all that adrenaline I really don't care. Example: Last weekend (6/23/02) I did (at least) a full 360 on my first run and took out 3-4 cones on a DNF. I was giving a ridealong and wasn't concentrating enough...rear end got loose on some hard braking and just SNAP, came around--no excuses, I just blew it; still had FUN tho! The passenger got REALLY wide eyed .
Auto-x is about 70% driver and 30% ride, so once you get some seat time you'll be amazed at some of the expensive iron you'll start knocking off (time wise).
Come back out to the next event and get some ride-alongs. You won't be sorry! --------------------------- '02 True Blue--Newborn 3/02 NLOC #307 #99 ESP "We DO race the truck!"
