Thread: How many here Autocross?

  1. #1
    Just wondering how many of the FSAE student autocross other than FSAE competitions? do you do it in your street car? I unfortunately missed out on FSAE while I was at school and stumbled upon Solo2 after college.

    Many of us on the UCDavis team autocross our own cars as well as our FSAE cars. I've been competing fairly seriously in STS since before I joined FSAE and feel that autocrossing is the best thing you can do to prepare for competition. The experience definately showed for us last year and we expect it to show even more this spring.

    I autocross, along with a lot of my FSAE teammates. I used to run an 95 Neon ACR for a little while. Now I just drive our FSAE car. I plan on building my own A Mod when I get out of school. Another guy runs a Probe GT in STS, and does very well, winning many regional events. Our chassis group leader runs his 67 VW bug from time to time. And some of our newer members autocross their street cars as well. We run the FSAE car in SCCA events on a regular basis. This year we did 4 regional events and the Divisional Championships. Next year, we plan to run 2 cars, at the National Tour event, Divisional Championships, and 5 or more regional events.

    I've autocrossed consistently since '99. Started out in my '99 Subaru 2.5RS, and now in my '02 WRX wagon. Done a few divisionals, and went to my first National Tour this year. I run our formula car every chance I get. Actually we've got a race this weekend. Shooting for FTD. The picture in my signature was at the last autocross in Oct. I missed FTD by just .022sec.

    I've also started building a 2nd gen RX7 for FP.

    We autocross our car every chance we can. Its (sadly) our best opportunity to test, as its tough to get space around here. Our members also run their own cars in autocrosses, typically we have 3 or 4 cars driven by our members in events here, including our 2002 FSAE car. (the first of many)

    I started autocrossing this summer. I am driving an 82 Rx7 with no modifications. That is how I found out about FSAE in the first place. I have not been able to convince any of the other members of the UNM FSAE team to join me yet though. I don't know why, seeing how fun it is!

    I started to autocross in 99 with Central Illinois Region with my MkII CRX Si. I'm in CSP and it's been a money pit ever since. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img] I don't see much Street Prepared cars in my region with an exception of a couple 914s, Fieros, MR2s and a Le Car. Maybe I should head down to St. Louis where there's a load of CSP drivers. I'm thinking about moving into FSP with an 85-87 Corolla GTS if I can even find one in the Mid-West.

    We get a lot of variety here in St. Louis, the Missouri-Rolla team finally started autocrossing two cars regularly this year, they will hopefully continue that next year realizing that the more time they can get the better they can do in Detroit.

    We are hoping to get quite a few FSAE teams to the St. Louis events next year, some incentives we had this year included FSAE drivers paid SCCA Member fees, instead of our normal non-member fee, even if they weren't SCCA members. Next year I would hope we would do the same, and possibly get some other things organized to make it easier for FSAE guys.

    That's cool you have incentives for the teams! The SCCA Autocross events are great because they offer a pressure environment for the drivers like Detroit does. Here at Auburn we've traveled to Huntsville and Birmingham SCCA events to practice. However, it's a big trip to plan, and a whole day affair. If we really want to get testing done we are much better off doing it here. But it's a fun break and good driver training.
