To go along with Johnny's epic amish drive, a lot of the Philly SCCA events are coming up. I'd like to finally get the R out there and see how it compares to my old Mk6. Anyone else interested? Coming up they have Temple-Ambler, the usual warminster park, philly mills, oxford valley mall, and wells fargo.
Or we can say and do more epic amish drives?

Yeah I was shocked. Granted it's only once at philly mills, oxford valley, and temple but still. Maybe they're trials for more events in the future.[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2019 8:47 pmWow, they've been hard at work at adding new venues.Gberg2119 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2019 8:37 pm To go along with Johnny's epic amish drive, a lot of the Philly SCCA events are coming up.

I'm always down to play cars if I'm free. I need a new helmet, doe.
I don't remember what my helmet was. Snell 2010 I think?

The best site I know about is at Pocono but I don't know if they have any more events there this year, the big 2-day one is sold out already. It's NEPA SCCA.
I'm not familiar with the sites closer to the rest of you clowns, are any of them good?

Well Warminster park is the main one and it's on a smallish runway so the course is down and back. Wells fargo was fun because it's a wide open parking lot so they're more creative.troyguitar wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2019 9:13 pm The best site I know about is at Pocono but I don't know if they have any more events there this year, the big 2-day one is sold out already.

I've never done temple, philly mills, or the oxford valley mall before but I assume they're just like wells fargo.
Looks like your helmet is fine. 2005 or newer according to the updated rules.

They're short and lower speed. Warminster is probably the fastest course, it's an old airport runway, and usually quite a bit of fun. It's been a long time since I've run there but IIRC each run was under a minute. Yeah looks like that's still the case with faster cars under 50 seconds. You get 4 runs. 3 minutes 20 seconds total track time.troyguitar wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2019 9:13 pm The best site I know about is at Pocono but I don't know if they have any more events there this year, the big 2-day one is sold out already.

That's like 3 hipster drinks.
Odd that philly is $50 though, even NY is only $35.

How about we schedule a meeting to form a committee to investigate our options and report back to the stakeholders who can hire consultants to help us choose the best strategy for developing a successful plan which leverages our unique synergies in an impactful manner?[user not found] wrote:There's also TNIA events, which would be fun too.
So, as a group - let's agree to do something?
Spend $75 on karts
Spend $60 on autocross
Spend $155-165 on a TNIA event

I’ve made friends with staff and the mechanics at the San Antonio one to the point where they give me the best karts each time.

Next autocross is July 13th and 14th and here is the remaining schedule. I'd like to try and hit one of them, either the 13th or 14th. The may blow up if I do them both.
I'll definitely be able to do all of them up until the August 18th event. I don't know for sure about the last 3.
Any takers?

it does ruin the fun after a while and you only get to know the condition after you get in. But I would give K1 a shot once a visit the great country of Texas.

Hey fellers. As of now there are only 53 entries in the autocross for this Sunday at Franklin Mills. That's incredibly low but should mean more runs for everyone!
