Autox sites closing.....

[Sharp11]

This year, three local clubs have lost their autox sites: Poughkeepsie (out of NY), Cart and Fairfield County Sports Car Club here in CT.

A couple of years ago, Westchester (NY) lost theirs (I don't know what they're doing now).

Fcscc has found a site, but it's now over two hours away all the way across the state, Poughkeepsie has suspended its solo2 for the time being and Cart has found a temporary solution, but for members only :(

So, no autox this summer, I guess......I was looking forward to doing at least a couple of test and tune days to feel out the new car.

Sucks.

What is Cart and why can't you become a member?

Bren,

Cart is the Connecticut autocross club. I was a member in 2005, but the club decided to tighten its belt and enforce its membership rules, which meant attending dinner meetings at least three times a year (as well as some other requirements). Since Cart is based over an hour away, this wasn't really desirable for me, i was fine with paying the extra fee for autox's and test and tune's instead.

I suppose I could rejoin now, but something tells me it's going to be a bit tougher given the circumstances (btw, I think they were right to do this - events had become unmanageably crowded and unenjoyable).

So.......if I want to do one, I guess the two hour drive across the state is my only option - I'll try for at least one this season.

Nothing. No autocrosses.


Yeah, the lack of sites up here is a real problem. The ones we do have pretty much suck anyway.

Head down to DC for the WDCR series like me. :D :loco:

You'd never make it in LA. An hour away in LA rush hour is really just the next town over :ack: :ack: :D
