Autox sites closing.....
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.

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. Ed |
