Houston autocross 11/8 and 11/9
Houston SCCA is doing two autocross events this weekend. Both will be at Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown. Cost is $45 per day. Don't have time to do both so I'm registered for just Saturday, running F Stock. Anyone else thinking about going?

YZHOU: from the website linked above:
Solo is the SCCA brand name for autocross competition. Solo events are driving skill contests that emphasize the driver's ability and the car's handling characteristics. This is accomplished by driving a course that is designated by traffic cones on a low hazard location, such as a parking lot or inactive airstrip. While speeds are no greater than those normally encountered in legal highway driving,the combination of concentration and car feedback creates an adrenaline pumping experience. It is like being in a movie chase scene, only you are holding onto the steering wheel instead of a box of popcorn!
