thanks kevin. i definitely want to do one of the clinics too.

this summer i'd like to do an HDPE or two. then start hitting the tracks. autocross is fun too, just not enough seat time.

We will talk Mr K04. I want to get the FD to at least 2 maybe 3 HPDE. Got any track experience or are you a n00b?

I'm shooting for a 1 day HPDE @ Blackhawk to break her in (AAA towing distance )

Then I really want to do Grattan again with 3 Balls Racing

The last will be open to event/price/FD still in one piece.

nope, i'm a n00b. but very eager to start learning.

in4autoxandtrackdays.

new(ish) to the area. how much are the individual events hosted by BMWCCA (with membership)? I'm looking for a local SCCA/autoX chapter/group to run with this year since moving up from Indianapolis.

Also (possibly unrelated to thread), I'm part owner-driver of a 24-hours of Lemons team. We will likely have a seat open for a 6th driver this year for anyone who's interested. You can PM me for details

Kev I am in for Autox all dates except Melrose
