Who at SCCA decides this esoterica, and are they huge nerds?

Re: Next Autox Bowie 6/2/12
I don't think Ben was trying to be negative. He's a really nice guy and very supportive of new participants. The point he is trying to make is that people make mistakes. Sometimes it's the corner workers and sometimes it's the drivers. I know I've seen new (and experienced) autocrossers adamantly c...

Re: Next Autox Bowie 6/2/12
Well, that's a nice gesture by Ed. But here's the thing. In this sport, which has the cool feature that the drivers are the workers, every little once in a while, there's a bad call. Since nobody's perfect, that inherent margin for error tends to affect everyone more or less the same over time. Sort...

Re: Suggestion: Team Event Day
What about rolling with Arredi's original idea, but having "mixed" teams, combining x no. of high index and y no. of low index cars on the teams (or have any combination of x no. of cars producing a specific "combined" index, which would be the same for all teams)? I just reacted...

Re: Autocross School?
Unless they know you and your driving, its unlikely SCCA would let you sign up for a Level II without doing a Level I first. One thing taking these schools will teach you is that you don't know as much as you think you do. I try to take a Level I and Level II every season. The Level I school focuses...

Re: Autocross School?
Evolution is tops. But the SCCA Washington DC Region Level I and II schools are good introductions to the fundamentals, and you get lots and lots of seat time, which is great. I mean lots. For a Level II, consider your tires, because they will be pretty much toast after you are done with your 50 or ...

Re: Should Greater than 250 HP be the top Index?
Doesn't affect me much. I'm never in the hunt for index position, and that's OK with me. But there are several folks who run Cobras, mostly for the fun and spectacle, some not up there with Wade and Fred, who are affected. Sorry for getting a little out of whack. Just could not believe what I was re...

Re: Should Greater than 250 HP be the top Index?
Think about it, because with this kind of weak talk, that's about as close as you'll ever come to getting a trick behind the wheel of one. The point is that, no matter what you drive, that amount of muscle is just not an advantage on CDC lots. But I am pretty sure that the AWD EVO boys you lust afte...

Wow. Nobody justified the proposed change because Cobras were not coming in first. Where does all that envy and anger come from? I do not know of a single so-called "Cobra guy" who begrudges AJ or anyone else their well deserved victories. He and the fast small bore guys are a hoot to watc...

Since I will be jockeying my 2011 GT Mustang for the foreseeable future, I'll be happy to ride along and yell at you. I guarantee you that your car is more capable than you think. I got mine down into the mid 41s on Sunday during the Test n Tune. Not too shabby for a bone stock porker. The car, I me...

All Hail CDC's Award Winning Autoxers
The CDC community should know that its ranks were well represented when the SCCA WDC Region and AI handed out 2010 championship awards last Satruday at the DC Auto Show. Larry Casey took the 2010 XP class win, followed by XP runner up, Fast Freddie Kelley. Kelley also won the 2010 AI XP class champi...

Sorry I missed the Test 'n Tune, but had a great day Saturday. Appropos of the season, wanted to take a moment to thank all the organizers and competitors for a fantastic, well run, and reasonably incident-free 2010. Of all the autox clubs around, CDC offers the most events, and most outright fun, f...
