Official Bay Area Autocross (SoloII) Thread

abs0lutexer0 · 07-30-2007, 07:20 PM

I've decided to start this thread to attract more 8thcivic owners to come out to autocross events in the Bay Area. I fell in love with the sport after my first event. I guarantee that autocrossing is a lot more exciting than drag racing. It's also a lot safer than street racing and much cheaper than road racing. So far I have not seen another 8thcivic besides myself in the SFR region. I autocross with about 7 clubrsx guys. I would really like to see more of "us" represent out there! Utilize your LSD, yadadamean?!! Our cars are not meant to go in a straight line!!! Let me know if you have any questions. I'll try to answer them to the best of my ability.

Here is a link to the upcoming events in the Bay Area:

You can also obtain valuable information through other sites. Enclosed are links to other Bay Area autocross forums/threads:

For SFR Region, you need to be a member to run at any events unless you are sponsored by a member (you can only be sponsored once). In order to become a SCCA member, you need to sign up online (see link below) and pay an annual fee of $45 (age of 24 and under) and $85 (25+ years of age). Then you pay $35 for each event and you get 3 runs and possibily 3-4 more fun runs at the end of the day if there's enough time left for fun runs.

To sign up for SCCA membership:

BTW I can sponsor 1 lucky guest to the next event at Marina 8/26/07. It cost $45 for guests to run.

u goin to marina then right billy?

abs0lutexer0 · 07-31-2007, 07:51 PM

Not the Marina event on 8/12, because I'm leaving to Orlando that Thursday for vacation, so I'll miss the next event. However I'll be at the Marina event on 8/26! See you there, Edwin!

abs0lutexer0 · 08-03-2007, 03:04 PM

How sad!!! Nobody is interested in taking their driving skills and their car's potential to the next level.

LickyMYwalker · 08-03-2007, 09:42 PM

seriously...

8thgenuser · 08-03-2007, 09:51 PM

Thanks for the info Billy.

to177SI · 08-03-2007, 11:15 PM

Thx for the links Billy - I'm actually interested in going, but I'm too dam lazy to read all the info and my ADD kicks in after the 3rd paragraph.

BTW, how come it's more expensive to sign up if you're (25+ years of age)?

abs0lutexer0 · 08-04-2007, 01:08 AM

$85 is the regular membership fee. $45 is a discount to younger drivers (college students who don't have a lot of money to spend).

abs0lutexer0 · 08-07-2007, 06:45 PM

to177SI · 08-07-2007, 08:45 PM

^^ lol looks like no one in interested. BTW, I think I saw ya on Saturday night on Capital Expy - was tat you Billy?

Guei38 · 08-08-2007, 07:02 AM

I'd been thinking about auto-crossing for a while now. However, as I don't know anyone personally that does so, or anyone that goes to SCCA events, I'd been a little shy. Think you'd like to show me the ropes sometime? I'm around the bay/sac, as I go to UC Davis.

Yes, if you are willing to drive, you should come out to the next event at Marina on Sunday 8/26. We can meet up in the south bay and head out together with some of the clubrsx guys.

adamhoud · 08-08-2007, 12:25 PM

I would be interested, however I am not stock....

It doesn't matter. Mine isn't completely stock either. Most of us only do fun runs anyways. It's all about having fun and learning how to improve your driving.

adamhoud · 08-08-2007, 02:32 PM

Well I'll go next time then.

abs0lutexer0 · 08-08-2007, 04:21 PM

I'll keep you updated!

***EJ1 Freak*** · 08-08-2007, 05:27 PM

I'm not sure if I can make this sunday's event because I messed up my hand!

Keep your fingers crossed! lol
