it came with the $25 registration fee to get more people under 25 y/o interested in racing....

Camden Community College.....

[piknockout]

Yes...although I think it's technically Camden County Community College.

Details:

Directions to Camden County Community College - Blackwood Campus
From Camden/Philadelphia:

Take Route 42 South. Exit at the Blackwood/Clementon exit.
Turn right at the bottom of the exit ramp (onto Blackwood/ Clementon road)
Turn right at the first traffic light (onto Erial Road).
Follow Erial Road to the second traffic light and turn right (onto Little Gloucester Road).
Continue straight past the next traffic light. The college is on the right side.

isn't that a little... dangerous lol

[piknockout]

Nope, not at all. It's not in Camden, NJ. Now that would be dangerous!

[Scapegoat]

ok sweet... so that makes about 40 local autocross events....

I'm gonna need new tires before the end of the year...

I've been interested in doing a few AutoX events because I see it as a safe and legal way to have some fun.

However, I have little racing experience and a virtually stock Forester XT. Now I'm not so concerned about looking like a noob (I'm too old to care), but what I don't want to do is come waste time that could be used for more enthusiastic competitors.

Do they run in groups based on experience so for people like me I can just come out an have a good time or is this full on competition and probably not a good idea for me to compete?

come out. you're not wasting anyones time.

You pick 1 of 4 heats to run in. You get 4 runs, everyone goes through one by one, you go again once everyone goes. You also work one of the heats, this is usually resetting up cones when BMW drivers plow through them.

PS: I've only done one event... don't worry about wasting time. Everyone starts a noob at some point and screws up and does stupid ****, etc etc etc. No run is a wasted run, its all learning.

Where do I need to look to get started?

Forget the one for North New Jersey though. When you come out to the event, just sign up in Novice class. Make sure you get an instructor on your first two runs at least, it will be a huge help. And you're wasting nobody's time, all of us started as novices at one point.

[Scapegoat]

Speaking of novice... how do they feel about someone running in the novice class their first season?

My car would fall into the modified class due to the minor power adders, and I don't feel as if I'd have any chance of hanging in that class. Maybe next year...

[piknockout]

The Novice class is an indexed class. You would still run your normal class (SM for example), and times would be adjusted based on the PAX indexes to determine the winner in Novice. It's just like Pro class and Ladies class.

[Scapegoat]

awesome, now I won't feel bad running novice all season...

[piknockout]

Also forgot, www.autocrossersinc.org and they will be hosting their five events at Fed Ex Field in D.C. Man I love that lot, and get to run on it 14 times this year including WDCR season, A.I. season, and the D.C. Pro.
