I've wanted to do this since before I had a driver's license. As a kid I was around this sport all the time. I went with 2 goals. No DNF's (Did Not Finish - means you did the course wrong) and no hit pylons. I succeeded at both and got a bonus at the end of the day. 2nd in my class!!

I try to run these 2 to 3 times a year... here are the guys that run it over here in NJ.
I'm near Vancouver, B.C. (Canada) The club I joined (and several other clubs in the area) does do some events at Mission Raceway, but I'm not planning to do any track time this year. I'm not ready to race with other cars on the track, yet. The car I'm doing auto cross with is my daily driver, I need it not broken so I can get to and from work.

I really want to drive a manual car and get into autocross, but I drive an X5. R/C's have been put on the backburner for a while even though I can't get into autocross.

My parents won't let go of that X5; they've spent over what the value of the car is now on maintenance. Plus, I'm only borrowing it for this year until I go off in college so unless it gets totaled, I have to drive it.
Now that I have a license, I might be able to sneak out a few times and play with Mini Z's again. I passed by Maj's on Black Friday when getting some stuff at Harbor Freight.
