I'd seen this before but forgotten about it until now: http://www.americanauto-x.com/
This might be good for people wanting to try out autocross. Registration is open, $35 (no membership/annual dues), you get 5 runs and there is a relatively sane number of entries (~100) unlike the SFR-SCCA events. It's a bit far--a 2-hour drive to Atwater/Castle AFB, but they start running at 9am (registration starting at 8am) so I could probably head out from the South Bay at 6am and make it in plenty of time. First event is 2/28 which is obviously a no-go for us with Evos, but the next event is 2/29 if anyone is interested. I'm definitely thinking about it...
The site says "The series caters to the 'American Iron', so therefore the courses are designed somewhat wider than most autocrosses across the nation" which makes me think (1) the courses--being wide--should be especially friendly to beginners driving Evos, and (2) wouldn't it just be awesome to have a group of a half-dozen or so Evos "crashing their party"? :lol:
