AutoCross events this fall at the Meadowlands parking lot

I have been entertaining the idea of doing an autoX event this year since the Optima Batteries USCA event did not come to NJMP this year. I have been looking at the schedule on www.autox4u.com and see that there are a few events left at the Meadowlands parking lot. There are several others in nearby states, but I don't think I'll have the time to travel all that far, so I am most likely just going to do the one at the Meadowlands. Some others are SCCA events and some are MSNE events. different classes, different rules, probably both tons of fun

and
http://motorsportsne.com/


With my crazy weekend schedule it appears I can only make it to the October 20th and/or November 17 events.


October 20 is a SCCA event. http://scca-nnjr.com/ I may not make this one, but as of now I am not working and have no other events, so I am keeping it on the calendar

November 17 is more likely to happen for me and it is still the SCCa event. who knows what the weather etc will be around that time though


If anyone has been, please enlighten me (us). I know to clear everything loose out of the car and to bring a helmet. I know to bring basic tools and an air pump for tire pressure. From what I've read, cars are split up into different groups, so one group races, the other shags cones and works the track and the third rests or preps their cars. right?

I am mostly oin to enjoy and flog on the car a bit. I have a hurt rear diff which is well past its expiration date as it only has 4 of the 5 bolts holding the posi-unit together. I do plan on replacing the entire rear and driveshaft this winter, so flogging on the rear this season will not be a total bummer if something bad happens... hopefully it doesnt, but we shall see.




anyone else interested?
(in any of the events/dates that are on the above websites, not just the ones I might go to)
anyone have input or advice?
