Autocross June 2nd
 
I have been wanting to give Autocross a try and there is an event at Texas Raceway in Crandall on June 2nd being put on by Equipe Rapide. Cost is only $40. I happen to be off that sunday due to a school so I'm pretty sure I'm going to give this a try. Anyone else what to try it???

also any imput on what I may need to do to get my car ready? I know I will need to upgrade my brakes eventually but i have heard about problems with the brake fluid boiling. what should I replace the fluid with to make sure this doesnt happen.

If i get back from my friends wedding in time and I don't party too hard I'm always down for some cone carving!

Do you think I need to change the brake fluid?

I'm not making any plans that far out. I'd love to try it out though.

I might try to make this one.

What is there to calculate? How many seconds I lose by? Pretty sure they do that for me.

only had my stock brake fluid boil once on me. It's def not a bad idea, but not a must especially if its your first time. Also depends on how fast or tight the course is....are there any other AutoX coming up?

cool, I may do the 25th with the NTAXS or drive down to College Station for the http://www.tamscc.org/forum/calendar...o=displaymonth
If you want to learn and practice I'd highly suggest the A&M AutoX, they run two courses, one timed and one for fun/practice...they have one a month in the summer

I have never done an autox event but a majority of our driving school and recertification every 2 years is basically the same thing. I work almost every weekend and I just happen to have the 2nd off, that's why I wanted to try it. I wish I could do more events

I might be down to go watch. The mustang prolly won't be ready for that.

Plenty of bone stock cars go out and compete! Try it out !

Been waiting on a local autocross or track event with a reasonaable price. Been itching to test out the StopTechs. The brakes can take a pounding.
